I've mentioned this before about H&M 7, and was hoping that this standard would be implemented in H&M 8, but alas it's not. Most text editors (including this forum's edit boxes) allow you to double click to select a word and then extend the selection, by word, by dragging left or right. H&M can't seem to do this, it requires that the user hold shift key when extending the selection.
Thanks.
Double/triple click drag still not implemented.

Hi Dan,
An ordinary click and drag extends the selection by whole words at a time. What more do you need?
Puzzled.

Re: Double/triple click drag still not implemented.
Hello Martin, In Windows click-drag extending by word is a non-standard UI. The standard UI in most text applications is click drag extends by character and double-click drag extends by word. It does that in word, notepad, Visual studio, notepad++, text boxes in all web browsers, just about every application on my system except for H&M. Even the standard windows edit control obeys the double click extends by word and single click extends by character.
Thanks, Dan
