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?

    It's doing that for me by default in Ubuntu 9.04. Tested it in both Firefox and Terminal.

    djhowell, please make that an answer to Josh can accept it. You are of course correct.

  • @djhowell, yes, please make that an answer and I will accept it. Looks like this is application specific because Thunderbird doesn't do this.

  • @Josh maybe you could just close this as "answered in the comments" or answer it yourself?

    @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? ;-)
