I found that the FIF in the context menu on Win7 did not seem work in the same
way as FIF with Shift-Click.
Shift-Click seems to invoke FIF for the entire word under the mouse cursor,
regardless of what is selected.
The context Menu FIF options seem to invoke FIF only if you have preselected
The shift-click behavior has been removed, leaving ctrl-click to invoke fif.

I just discovered that my first recollection was wrong. It seems my fingers
know what I am doing better that I can describe it.
I use Ctrl-Click for discontinuous selection, not Alt-click.
So, Alt-click could also be used for FIF.
For me, Ctrl-click is fine for Win FIF.
I'm not sure I see a
This metaphor is new to me. The current behavior is hardcoded. You can edit the
ide/gtk/gtk.ijs to disable link to fif. A better way is perhaps to assign
an alternative way to link fif and leave extended selection usable.
diff --git a/ide/gtk/source/main/event.ijs b/ide/gtk/source/main/event.ijs
Interesting. The use of shift+click for extended selection is one of the
oldest
mouse uses that I am aware of. Virtually every editor and most file managers I
am aware of on Windows or Mac support it (including J6 editor).

No problem in changing this. What is the best alternative? Do we need
an alternative?

I agree that the right mouse button for (Windows) context is not a bad option.
Perhaps FIF could be added as an additional context menu entry.
Another option could be to use the middle mouse button for FIF. Most wheel
mice
support clicking the wheel as a middle mouse button.
I must admit my
FIF is already inside the popup menu for right click.
Whatever the choice would be, it will be nice to be compatible with Mac.
