    [wiki][st][patches] Ignore configurable delimiter on line snap selection
    
    This patch adds following new variable into `config.def.h`:
    * `snap_line_delimiters`: this is the array of (multi-byte) characters which
                              will terminate a line snap selection. By default it
                              contains the `tmux` window pane separator `│`.
    
    The primary use-case would be snap selecting a line in a terminal
    multiplexer like tmux. Such selection would typically select across
    all panes, whereas the user most likely wanted to select only the line
    within a pane.

+=====================
+
+Description
+-----------
+The primary use-case would be snap selecting a line in a terminal
+multiplexer like tmux. Such selection would typically select across
+all panes, whereas the user most likely wanted to select only the line
+within a pane.
+
+This patch adds following new variable into `config.def.h`:
+* `snap_line_delimiters`: this is the array of (multi-byte) characters which
+ will terminate a line snap selection. By default it
+ contains the `tmux` window pane separator `│`.
+
+Notes
+-----
+* When snap selecting a line and dragging it, the selection can span multiple
+ panes. It's probably possible to address this in follow-up patches.
+
+* The new delimiter variable does *not* affect word snap selection. If you want
+ to ignore certain characters when double tapping a word for seleciton, add that
+ character to `worddelimiters` in `config.def.h`. However, if a word snap selection
+ does select the line snap delimiter, a subsequent line snap selection will de-select
+ that character again anyway.
