System information

Godot v4.2.2.rc (2dab9dc55) - Arch Linux #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 29 Feb 2024 19:08:51 +0000 - Wayland - Vulkan (Mobile) - dedicated AMD Radeon RX 580 Series (RADV POLARIS10) () - AMD Ryzen 7 2700 Eight-Core Processor (16 Threads)

Issue description

In the following code

var string1 = "|word1| `word2` 'word3'"
var string2 = '[word1] `word2` "word3"'

everything behaves as expected except for word2 on both lines. When selecting it via double click or via Ctrl+left arrow, the selection will include the left backtick. Selecting via Ctrl+right arrow works fine. Interestingly, if you remove the quotes and let the backticks roam free in the editor (not that it would make any sense doing that as it is not valid syntax), they are both treated as alphanumerics, getting selected together with the rest of the word.

Now I agree this is a minor annoyance and probably irrelevant for 99.9% of users, but maybe 3 years from now someone (or me) will be bored and decide to fix this random bug.

Steps to reproduce

Paste the above snippet in Godot's code editor and try selecting stuff with double click and Ctrl+arrows.

Backtick isn't punctuation or an operator in GDScript so I'd expect this to treat it as part of the word
