I frequently double-click with the left mouse button from a previous xterm displayed result like ii cupsys ii cupsys-bsd Here, double-clicking "cupsys" highlights the whole word, but double-clicking "cupsys-bsd" highlights only "cupsys", since double-clicking sees a word boundary at characters like - / space As a result, I must left-click and drag my mouse over the word cupsys-bsd which is several times slower (perhaps 2 seconds). HOW CAN I GET DOUBLE-CLICKED WORDS TO HIGHLIGHT EVERYTHING BETWEEN SPACES; eg, all of "cupsys-bsd" or all of "/var/log/messages"?
After either double-clicking or a more awkward highlighting, I click the middle mouse button to drop (ie, copy) my words "cupsys" and "cupsys-bsd", forming a command-line like dpkg -L cupsys cupsys-bsd |xargs zgrep -i lpadmin This is a quick way to form command-lines that would be quicker if double-clicked words were delimited not by any "-" or "/", but by spaces only. -- Jameson C.
