Enable Word-by-Word Selection Extension with Double-Click and Drag
In many popular text editors (including Microsoft Word and LibreOffice), a user can initiate a word selection and then drag the mouse/touchpad to extend that selection one word at a time. This significantly improves the speed and accuracy of text selection compared to character-by-character dragging.
Current Behavior:
Double-click a word to select it (works correctly).
While keeping the button pressed after the double-click, drag the selection.
The selection extends character-by-character.
Desired Behavior (Standard Behavior in Other Editors):
Double-click a word to select it.
While keeping the button pressed after the double-click, drag the selection (to the right or left).
The selection should extend word-by-word until the mouse button is released.
This feature is highly valued for efficient editing and is often expected by users transitioning from other office suites.
