select a word with double click?

Do it is possible to select a word with double click?

[Maximus5]

Yes. What's the problem?

[lollita]

I'm not able to it. I must to select and release the word to copy to clipboard.

[Maximus5]

Run ConEmu -basic -cmd {cmd}

[lollita]

i run "ConEmu -basic -cmd {cmd}" from cmd but double click not change. Only move the cursor. I would double click same as notepad.

[Maximus5]

Run run "ConEmu -basic -log -cmd {cmd}" do double click and upload LogFiles to DropBox or gist.

[lollita]

logs sent via email.

By default, clicks and double-clicks are sent to console application. There is no way to know if it aware of mouse events or no.

So, two ways:

1. Hold Alt or Shift when you double click
2. Change modifier to <Always> for Text selection on the Mark/Copy settings page.

[lollita]

ok i understand. do it not possibile to "change prompt" with left click if i not drag the mouse and "mark/copy" with left click if i drag the mouse?

[Maximus5]

What is your question?

[lollita]

Do it is possible?: I left click mouse without drag it and then change prompt. I left click mouse and drag it and then mark selection and copy on release mouse button.

[Maximus5]

But that is default behavior, isn't it? Only double clicks to word selection requires holding Alt or Shift.

[lollita]

I'm sorry, it's true. And so you can not distinguish between single-click and double- click to move or copy. Do it is possible to select a word with middle button?

[Maximus5]

Same problem. Console app may use mouse internally. And using middle click breaks UI habits.

However, I have some ideas to improve mouse logic. Later...

[lollita]

ok ty for all :) :+1:

Hi, L-Alt nor L-Shift doesnt seem to make a diff visually so I dont know what they are intended for. But my main issue is: Word selection takes place fine when delimited by spaces, any option to make it select last word (like filename in pathname) ?

[zxbuaa]

Same question as @rojagit when open task for cmd.exe or WSL. As Microsoft instructed add WordDelimiters register under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Console, cmd.exe and bash.exe work as expected, but Conemu seems has its own word delimiters.

Similar to most other terminals I've worked with (xterm, gnome-terminal, KiTTY, konsole, iTerm2), I would like to be able to select which characters represent a "word" for double-click selection. Is this possible? Thanks.
