[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 149254] Make the selection behavior when double-clicking a word a user preference.

Some good arguments support this request, first of all convenience (select and delete/over-type without need to adjust spaces) and consistency (most competitors do so). But in fact we do the expected behavior when the selection is done by keyboard (shift+ctrl+right - or left in case of RTL). And we should implement the same for mouse interactions. Bug 149308 requests the opposite to not include trailing spaces (NAB/WF IMO) Bug 82735, bug 136053 discuss whether deleting a word should automatically include the trailing space (resolved WF since we delete the selection - and the selection should include the white-space) Bug 129426 is about collapsing the selection Referenced Bugs: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112182 [Bug 112182] [META] Text and object selection issues -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=149254 --- Comment #11 from Chris --- Heiko Tietze, you are correct of course. I'm looking for a consistent experience that I can adjust to my needs. If I could adjust it, double-clicking a word would act like MS-Word which selects the word plus the trailing space. A delete or a backspace removes the word, plus the trailing space. Overtyping preserves the space, or more correctly, replaces the trailing space. There may be some other options, but this is something that I've grown used to, and I'd prefer not to have to re-learn how to use the word processor as I'm trying to write or edit a document. Thanks for your consideration. I don't want to add to bloat, and I really don't want to complicate configuration menus, but this one feature would be really helpful as I edit my writing.

This means "Hello new world" with brackets for the envisioned selection. Works for delete but not if you replace the word - you'd have to add the trailing space in this case again. And btw, trailing or leading white space? Probably depending on whether at the beginning of the sentence or at the end. I vaguely remember a similar ticket, but bug 100189 is different and I cannot find anything better. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
