In Mac OS, if you select text by double-clicking and dragging (sometimes called "click and a half"), the selection advances word by word. In Linux, using Gnome, I am only able to get this behavior in select applications, like Terminal and FireFox. Is there any way to get Thunderbird to have the same functionality/behavior?

6It's doing that for me by default in Ubuntu 9.04. Tested it in both Firefox and Terminal.– djhowellOct 12, 2009 at 18:53

2djhowell, please make that an answer to Josh can accept it. You are of course correct.– CarlFOct 12, 2009 at 19:36

@djhowell, yes, please make that an answer and I will accept it. Looks like this is application specific because Thunderbird doesn't do this.– JoshOct 12, 2009 at 20:40

@Josh maybe you could just close this as "answered in the comments" or answer it yourself?– cregoxMar 11, 2010 at 20:34

1@Cawas: I was waiting for him to post a real answer so I could accept it. Looks like he's not going to. Want a free +15 rep? ;-)– JoshMar 11, 2010 at 21:49
