I have a command-sequence that uses word-select prior to using cut.

After experimenting, I think an unintuitive cursor positioning is the

Hi Andrew,
Indeed, selectWord does not really consider pre-existing selection.
Easy solution : reset selection before selecting word
More difficult one: extend current selection up to word boundaries.
I do not know which one is the most useful. What would you expect if
the original selection spans more that one word?

For my particular command sequence, I changed it to repeat word-select,
which I suppose is your easy solution: the first word-select resets the
selection, the second then selects the word.
For a pre-existing selection spanning a blank between words I think your
more difficult solution is the intuitive behaviour: expand back to the
beginning of the first word and forward to the end of the second word.
Currently, it does just the second part. (Repeating word-select doesn't
work in this case.)
