The one included in the octopus should be trivial.

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

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

[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

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

 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.
