In any textbox or editor of any sort on any version of Windows, if you double-click on a word, it highlights both the word and any space or tab characters that follow it.
What is the use of this feature? How can I change it so that only the word is highlighted?
It's not all editors. In Visual Studio and Notepad++ only the current word is highlighted. I'm guessing that in most word processors when you past a word your usually going to type something else in a sentence and a space is usually required. – ChrisF – 2011-06-24T11:52:39.443
in VIM also only the word is highlighted, and there you can also count with the shortcut "viw" to "visualize-in-word" – Saullo G. P. Castro – 2013-08-07T11:18:49.340
