Can I change what constitutes a "word" in terms of selection?

I’d like to be able to double click and select an entire word, even if it includes a ' mark. Such as it's. And be able to use option+shift+arrow (on mac) to select words to the left/right. Currently those stop at the ' character.

Is it possible to modify those boundary characters to determine what constitutes a word?

Only with the wordChars language data, which may not be powerful enough for what you’re trying to do here.
