Double click text to select a word. Triple click text to select the whole paragraph.
For decades I assumed that there’s some weird fluky behavior when trying to select a word and accidentally selecting the paragraph.
- tonmoy 6y agoThis is same in Windows and Linux as well
- ffpip 6y agoThis feature is present everywhere. Windows, Android, all browsers I use, inside apps, etc
- danthewireman 6y agoYou can also double click a word, keep the mouse button down, and drag. This will select whole words. I use this a lot.
- Solstinox 6y agoI didn’t know that either, thank you! It works with triple-click paragraphs too.

Add shift to either of those and now instead of navigating, you're selecting the text. opt + delete: deletes full word behind cursor cmd + delete: deletes full line behind cursor
