[TxMt] Double click between words

[Mark Lacas]

Thanks for all the replies.
Your answers fixed almost all my complaints.

But!
Double clicking a tab between two words still selects the word before  
it, whereas multiple tabs get selected properly.
Why the difference in what gets selected.

Yup, I also use double click and then drag, all the time in BBEdit.
Doesn't seem to work very well.
Maybe an option key that would override and drop into drag over every  
character without the word character rules.
