Instead of dragging across text to selecting it, it’s more accurate and efficient to use mouse clicks. For example:
- A single click positions the cursor.
- Double-click selects a word.
- Triple-click selects a line of type.
- Quadruple-click selects a paragraph.
- Quintuple-click (that’s five!) selects all the text in a text block.
I programmed one of the buttons on my trackball to be a “double click”. That way, selecting a paragraph just takes two clicks of that button.
