Regression: ui_text_caret_left includes $

[novalis]

Godot version

4.1.1

System information

Godot v4.1.1.stable - Debian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid bookworm - Vulkan (Forward+) - dedicated AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT (RADV NAVI10) () - AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Six-Core Processor (12 Threads)

Issue description

Consider the following code:

func foo():
    $Foo.text = "foo"
    #     ^<-- cursor is here

In the Godot editor, when I press ctrl-left (ui_text_caret_left) in Godot 3.x, ny cursor goes to just after the $. In 4.1, my cursor goes to just before $. This is not what I prefer, because what I usually want to do is to insert another layer of UI. Or maybe I want to replace $Up with $Down because I've copy-pasted. Now I have to type the $ again.

Steps to reproduce

Move all your UI elements into a VBoxContainer because you suddenly realize that you need another column. Try to insert V/ in front of all node names. Get annoyed because you can't use ctrl-left to navigate to the beginning of the node name.

This has been reported before; it's a bug that's existed before 4.0 was in alpha.

Closing as duplicate of #56402, as it has the same cause.
From what I understand this is intended behavior, but it's inconsistent between $ and %.
