Priority: medium
Bug ID: 70418
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Summary: : When selecting text, automatically select entire
word
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: lukebe...@hotmail.com
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Component: UI
Product: LibreOffice
Please consider adding the optional feature to intelligently select text word
by word. When highlighting one word, only select the characters. When you
select more than one word, select entire words at a time. When selecting left
to right, and the mouse is moved backwards, revert to selecting one character
at a time. If the cursor is moved right again over multiple words, continue
with the select by word behavior.
This feature would only apply to Writer and Impress. The option to disable it
could be placed under
Tools -> Options -> Writer AND Impress -> General -> Editing
The option could be called "When selecting text, automatically select entire
word"
The feature would be especially useful for those of us on laptop with imprecise
input devices like touchpads or pointing sticks. You can see an example of how
this could be implemented by using MS Word or Powerpoint.
