Whitespace selection

[Doodler8888]

I have this line:

export PATH="$HOME/.nimble/bin:$HOME/.cargo/bin:$HOME/go/bin"

My cursor on the path definition PATH="$HOME/.nimble/bin:$HOME/.cargo/bin:$HOME/go/bin". And i want to select everything delimited by the whitespaces. I try to use 'meow-mark-symbol' and 'meow-bounds-of-thing' with the 'symbol' parameter, but it just selects only part of the PATH="$HOME/.nimble/bin:$HOME/.cargo/bin:$HOME/go/bin". What am i suppose to do?

I get that i can do a custom function myself or whatnot. I'm curious if there is a built-in way to do such thing.

For now i just use this code:

(defun meow--parse-inside-whitespace (inner)
  "Parse the bounds for inside whitespace selection."
  (save-excursion
    (let* ((line-start (line-beginning-position))
           (line-end (line-end-position))
           (start (progn
                    (skip-syntax-backward "^-" line-start)
                    (point)))
           (end (progn
                  (skip-syntax-forward "^-" line-end)
                  (point))))
      (cons start end))))

(add-to-list 'meow-char-thing-table '(?w . inside-whitespace))

(advice-add 'meow--parse-inner-of-thing-char :around
            (lambda (orig-fun ch)
              (if (eq ch ?w)
                  (meow--parse-inside-whitespace t)
                (funcall orig-fun ch))))
