This is hardly a backbreaker, but it is something that I have found mildly annoying.
Is there a way we can get better support for standard text-editing keyboard and mouse functionality?
As a specific for instance:
I routinely find myself trying to do a ctrl+shift+[left|right] arrow in order to select a word to either correct spelling, apply some formatting, etc. I am always dismayed to find the support not there (note that this is especially troublesome in the middle of the game when you are typing as a NPC, make a mistake, want to correct it)
Similarly, I'm one of those people who routinely use the double mouse click to select the word, triple to select the paragraph. That's also not there.
In short, there is a lot of standard text editing keyboard and mouse functionality that doesnt seem to be there that would make using the interface from the DM's perspective a bit easier.
Again, this is not absolutely critical, but is something that might slightly improve usability.
Just a thought.
Thanks,
Matt
