[CT-246] [Feature] Have a space after model name before the alignment periods, for ease of double-click selection

[joellabes]

Is there an existing feature request for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Describe the Feature

In VS Code, double-clicking a model name selects it and all of the dots that line up the results:

07:00:06  1 of 1 START seed file dbt_jlabes.data_star_aggregate_expected.................. [RUN]
07:00:18  1 of 1 OK loaded seed file dbt_jlabes.data_star_aggregate_expected.............. [INSERT 3 in 11.49s]

If there was a space after expected and before the first period, it wouldn't select them all

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using dbt Cloud in Chrome, which has different word boundary calculation logic

Who will this benefit?

VS Code users, maybe other IDEs?

Are you interested in contributing this feature?

Sure

You're so right! This has bugged me in the past.

I bet it's a one-liner in here:

dbt-core/core/dbt/events/format.py

Lines 20 to 32 in 3ad61d5

	truncate_width = ui.printer_width() - 3
	justified = prefix.ljust(ui.printer_width(), ".")
	if truncate and len(justified) > truncate_width:
	justified = justified[:truncate_width] + "..."
	if execution_time is None:
	status_time = ""
	else:
	status_time = " in {execution_time:0.2f}s".format(execution_time=execution_time)
	output = "{justified} [{status}{status_time}]".format(
	justified=justified, status=status, status_time=status_time
	)

Anyone want to take a crack at it?
