Is it possible to make editing the text of records (names and body) function more like it does in many (most?) other applications?

Specifically, it would be a huge quality of life improvement if:


Double clicking a word highlighted it.
Triple clicking a word highlighted the paragraph.
Changing paragraph type to List while having multiple lines highlighted changed included all lines in the List.


I'm sure there are a few other basics that I'm forgetting...

Check for other ideas as well, and add missing requests so the devs can track them.

There's a number of keyboard shortcuts you can use to select text.

SHIFT + Click - Select text from cursor to click point.
SHIFT + CTRL + Arrow keys - Select word left/right
SHIFT + Home - Select to beginning of line.
SHIFT + End - Select to end of line.

Thank you for the replies. FGU has made me soooo good at (SHIFT) + CTRL + Arrow Keys. I'll have to try the rest. Thanks!

Is there a single link to all of these text/keyboard shortcuts Zacchaeus?

I know some come up in the chat with the right slash command but others seem to be hidden away elsewhere.

Thanks,

BOB

What Zacchaeus has posted are standard Windows shortcuts, they are not specific to FG.
