[Bug 123472] New: When selecting text, automatically select entire
word
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123472
Bug ID: 123472
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: When selecting text, automatically select entire word
Product: General
Version: 4.1.0-dev
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: ui
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: lukebenes@hotmail.com
CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Please consider adding the optional feature to intelligently select text word
by word. When highlighting one word, only select the characters. When you
select more than one word, select entire words at a time. When selecting left
to right, and the mouse is moved backwards, revert to selecting one character
at a time. If the cursor is move forward again over multiple words, continue
with the select by word behavior.
This feature would only apply to Writer and Impress. The option to disable it
could be placed under
Tools -> Options -> Writer AND Impress -> General -> Editing
The option could be called "When selecting text, automatically select entire
word"
The feature would be especially useful for those of us on laptop with imprecise
input devices like touchpads or pointing sticks. You can see an example of how
this could be implemented by using MS Word or Powerpoint.

IMHO should be implemented in status bar - selection mode.

@Edwin Sharp
Yes, the status of this feature could be displayed there. But those settings
are only applied to the current session. There should also be an option in the
settings to remember the users preference between sessions.
