About this extension
When double clicking a word that has a space following it, this extension allows you to exclude that space character and to only select the word. On top of this it also allows you to Include or Exclude multiple Punctuation Characters and/or Special Characters.​
While the "Exclude Space Character" may not appear checked visually in the Popup when first installed, it will still perform the function of Excluding Space Characters, unless changed in the popup.
