I think the default word delimiters in phped suck, and is lacking behind most other editors... for example



In PHPED If you place the cursor before main.php and word jump the rest of the line (control+right arrow key) you will get
--main.
--php?
--id=
--blah_123">
--Rope</

whereas in dreamweaver you will get the desired normal results
--main
--.
--php
--?
--id
--=
--blah_123


PHPED's version makes no sense... who would want to select 'Rope</' ?

I see no problems because Ctrl+Right Arrow moves cursor to the next word on the right and Ctrl+Shift+Right Arrow selects text under cursor while moving. I can point you to many other editors that behaves exactly the same.
I'm not trying to tell that it's useful or not. It's just standartized many years ago when there was no weavers like dream.

Correct CTRL+Right and CTRL+SHIFT+Right are supposed to move/select the entire word... but Rope</ is not a word. Neither is id= or blah_123"> ... in this case I see the feature as useless

Can you show me other GOOD text-editors that have this

Correcly or incorrectly, CTRL+Right moves cursor to the next word. In case of Rope</ cursor was moved to the "a" in the closing </a> tag. That's how it is implemented. And I agreed, this function can/should be improved.
