Answer 1

M-x modify-syntax-entry RET - RET w RET should do it. Or if you prefer an elisp snippet that you can add into a hook, (modify-syntax-entry ?- "w") The syntax table for a mode contains information on what constitutes various syntactic classes (e.g. words, spaces etc.). These are used to determine the operation of commands such as forward-word etc. Modifying it change the behaviour of these commands.
