--- Comment #15 from Heiko Tietze  ---
This topic was on the agenda of the design meeting.

To answer Thomas' questions:

   + What should be the default behavior?
 + start with character, revert per character
   + Where should this setting be changeable?
 + no option here (at least not in the UI) (Heiko)
 + option at Tools > Options > Writer & Impress -> General -> Editing
(Luke)
   + How can it be made possible to switch temporarily to the other mode?
 + all or nothing

The point here is probably not primarily the keyboard (works well with
shift+ctrl) but selection per cursor (mouse, touchpad etc.). It's known on
Windows but would be rather disturbing on Linux.

IMO comment 3 describes perfectly working solution. I would hate to have that
"smart" processing, where in order to select from precisely half of this word
till half of another would need me to make magic passes to stop the "smart"
selection. Double-click does *not* take time when selecting; cancelling smart
selection in other software takes me time.

WF imo.

Why would it be "dangerous"? This is exactly how Word and PowerPoint behave my
default. In my description, I said, "this feature would be especially useful
for those of us on laptop with imprecise input devices like touchpads or
pointing sticks." Actually compare Writer with Word and you will see why this
would be such a useful feature. 

I do not miss this feature when using a mouse. That's why I said it should be
an optional feature, just like it is in MSO.

I don't see need to change much. You select word-wise per shift+ctrl+cursor -
on all applications. Actually it sounds dangerous to me if this behavior varies
and I wonder if unselecting parts of the automatically added words is possible.
My take is WF. Any other opinion?

Doesn't this already work?
When I select a whole word by double-clicking on it, then move the mouse, the
whole next word is selected.

--- Comment #5 from Luke lukebe...@hotmail.com ---
Right now, the select-by-word mode has to be enabled by double-clicking on a
word and then dragging. The user has to remember to start with a double click.
Instead, I am suggesting to have a more intelligent select that starts with a
single-click and drag. Once you have highlighted more than one word, it will
automatically switch into select-by-word mode. To disable this mode, you move
the move backwards to return to the select-by-character mode. 

This is how most modern word processors behave. Do you have access to Word
Perfect or MS Word? If not, I can record a video on youtube.
