editor: Treat punctuation as separate word boundaries (#62224)
# Objective

Fixes FR-149

- Make word movement and selection predictable around punctuation.
- Prior art: [#58882](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/58882),
[#61916](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/61916), and their
revert [#62213](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/62213).

## Solution

- Treat words and punctuation runs as separate movement units in both
directions.
- This adds a stop between leading punctuation and its following word,
such as `.▏foo`.

## Testing

- Added table-driven coverage for reported examples, delimiters,
operators, punctuation runs, and Unicode punctuation.
- Tested editor movement, selection, and deletion behavior.

## Self-Review Checklist:

- [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability
- [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments
- [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards
([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist)
and
[icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md)
guidelines)
- [x] Tests cover the new/changed behavior
- [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable

---

Release Notes:

- Fixed word movement and selection stopping on the wrong side of
punctuation.

Licensing

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
