I'm sorry but I don't see how this could implemented in the general case. However, I guess that you could write a replacement for the "selectAt" command (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/selectAt.html) which intimately knows your docbook-like schema and then rebind the mouse actions to make them use your custom command. Press-1 = selectAt begin Drag-1 = selectAt extend Release-1 = selectAt end Shift-Click-1 = selectAt
