Answer 1

I met with the same problem when editing Lisp/Scheme source codes with Notepad++.

The cure lies in the underlying Scintilla library (SciLexer.dll).

I've tried in a "blunt" way -- hack the code and rebuild SciLexer.dll.
Note the '-' added to the following code

CharClassify.cxx

void CharClassify::SetDefaultCharClasses(bool includeWordClass) {
    // Initialize all char classes to default values
    for (int ch = 0; ch < 256; ch++) {
        if (ch == '\r' || ch == '\n')
            charClass[ch] = ccNewLine;
        else if (ch < 0x20 || ch == ' ')
            charClass[ch] = ccSpace;
        else if (includeWordClass && (ch >= 0x80 || isalnum(ch) || ch == '_' || ch == '-'))
            charClass[ch] = ccWord;
        else
            charClass[ch] = ccPunctuation;
    }
}

Or, the "smart" way, as mentioned at ScintillaDoc.html

SCI_SETWORDCHARS(, const char *characters)

Scintilla has several functions that operate on words, which are defined to be contiguous sequences of characters from a particular set of characters. This message defines which characters are members of that set. The character sets are set to default values before processing this function. For example, if you don't allow '_' in your set of characters use: SCI_SETWORDCHARS(0,abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789");
