is omero any easier to install nowadays? Can I just untar it and bind
it over the right places in /?

In omero double click does the same, and triple is more hungry. You  
could try that modifying your local system

 rxvt-unicode has an option where you can have the selection grow on
subsequent clicks. ie, double click selects a word, another click
widens the selection to a whitespace seperated token, another click
widens the selection to the whole line, then
sentence/paragraph/etc/etc.
 I only ever used it for 5 minutes in between the feature being
introduced and me working out how to turn it off, but it may be a way
to get the best of both worlds, if awkwardly.

one man's `usually' is another man's `never'.
it's one reason i use 9term on linux.
we probably both say ``what were they thinking??'' about
contrary effects.

acme is for programming.  the existing behavior is
much better for programming where strings are generally
delimited by ".

[9fans] double click selects a word

[Rudolf Sykora]

Hello all

is there any good reason for a double click (in rio, sam, acme, ...)
to select a word  (probably) defined by sth. like
/[a-zA-Z0-9_]+/
and not sth. white-space delimited instead?
Double clicking e.g. on 'text.txt' only selects 'text' or 'txt', while
one usually wants the whole. The same with absolute paths like
'/usr/ruda/lib/profile', etc. In linux a double-click usually
highlights the whole and usually this is what I want.

Would changing this behaviour break anything?

Thanks
Ruda
