Note that NSTextView has: - 
(void)setSelectionGranularity:(NSSelectionGranularity)granularity

which might be all you need - just set it to NSSelectByWord every time you 
change the selection. This will keep getting reset so something will need to 
keep forcing it back to 'word' selection, but it might be possible to do this 
in the delegate and not require a subclass.
