Just try it. Almost right. Due it's behavior to move the cursor at the start of the selection and to keep the selection it becomes `foo - asfd-` > In C++ e.g. I would hate if I couldn't just select code and replace it by an operator anymore, Hm, I see. IIRC has the highlight stuff functions to ask the type of something. So probably there is a `isOperator(QChar c)` function available. Will then try that. If not. Would it be too annoying to type `- SPACE asdf DEL`?
