Underscore is treated as part of the name (it shouldn't)

Bug graveyard
1

Steps to reproduce

  1. Write 2023-03-25_deep_learning (cursor stays in the end of the string).

  • Press Ctrl+Left. Bug: The cursor will jump over 25_deep_learning and will end up between the last - and 2.
    or
  • Press Ctrl+Backspace. Bug: 25_deep_learning will be deleted.
    or
  • Double-click anywhere on the part 25_deep_learning. Bug: the whole part will be selected.
    or
  • Press Ctrl+Shift-Left. Bug: The part 25_deep_learning will be selected.

That is despite there being 3 different parts (1 number and 2 words) separated by an underscore.

The same bug is also present e.g. in file renaming screen.

Expected result

Underscore should be treated the same as space ( ) or dash (-).

I disagree with you and I checked few other editors and they act like obsidian.
