Description

As I figured out, that I can't use camelCase navigation inside JSON and plain JS objects. Its possible to navigate "test-test" from test to - and from - to test but if I have testTest or test_test, from the beginning, it jumps to the end and vice versa. But I think this is a problem in strings for the whole IDE or? Its not only about JSON and JS objects. But if we use strings and we have things like test-test, test_test and testTest, those things are not text relevant things, it should be variables, keys or values. An option would be helpful, because of this problem:

"Hi Im a sentence and you can navigate through each word which is not written in camelCase or written in test-test, test_test." So if you want to change smth, it would be a pain in the ass maybe, so an option would be fine to enable/disable it.
