Maybe check with some international Windows users who make extensive use of the AltGr key to make sure it doesn't throw a wrench in the works.
To be honest... I had no idea there were any kind of "industry standard" word-highlighting shortcuts before this thread. I'm a dyed-in-the-wool manual highlighter, myself. So all highlighting shortcuts will probably interfere with my double-clicking habits. |

Me neither - I'm strictly a click-and-drag man myself.

BeckyEbook tested this for us and using the left alt (not altgr) on international keyboards seems to work just fine.

Interestingly the Linux CI failed with my push of this to master. The failure seemed related to python3 and not Qt 5.9 specific. It passed on Windows and macOS. Any ideas?

I'll take a look. It's probably not anything code related. More likely a CI environment issue of some kind.

I think we're good now. Something must have changed on the Ubuntu 18.04 runner image. I had to specifically make sure the python3 (that already comes preinstalled with the image!) was set up, apparently.

This is great! Thank you!
Maybe it's just a Mac thing, but double-clicking on a word to select it, and triple-clicking on a word to select the entire paragraph, is something I've been doing for decades and works in pretty much all Mac programs. Also, double-clicking a word then dragging will select all whole words in the drag, so you don't have to fiddle with the mouse to be precise. |

To answer at KevinH question, I prefer the A for the Shift+Double-click (select the content), mainly because it is easier to remove empty tags by others shortcuts and features. But abandoning the other behavior would be a shame, because selecting the whole tag is really convenient. I suggest that you try to add Shift+Ctrl+Double-click to select the entire tag. Code-side, you would just have to prioritize (or somehow else) the Shift+Ctrl+Double-click, to maintain the "go to CSS rule" behavior of the Ctrl+Click (which is also very cool). Spoiler:

Same thing can be done in Android (and iOS). If you press-and-hold+drag, you're able to highlight per word. Much better than dragging those "handles" on either side. Last edited by Tex2002ans; 03-23-2021 at 07:04 PM. |

Normal double-click behaviour has now been restored in master for Sigil-1.5.1
- Double-Click selects word under cursor anyplace (restoring previous behaviour) - Shift Doubleclick in a tag selects that tags contents -Alt Doubleclick in a tag selects that tag and its contents. |
