Especially with the Highlight-Text-tool I think it would be practical to enable wordwise text selection, like it works in a browser. That is: Double click a word, but don't release the 2nd click (word under cursor is selected); drag the mouse to select more text, but both the selection-range's start- and endpoint are expanded to include the word they are located in.
Just try it right here in your browser, or compare this selection range sketch ("[" and"]" are mousedown/mouseup locations, "(" and ")" is the resulting selection):
..... .. ...([.. .. ......... .. ...... ..])..... .... ......... (single click to start selection)
..... .. (...[.. .. ......... .. ...... ..].....) .... ......... (double click to start selection)
Hope this gets accepted, certainly would make my life a little easier.
Cheers,
Peter
