I think Shawn is correct. I'm using Eterm and in the theme.cfg file I can
change the behavior you mention with this line:
# The characters to use as word delimiters for double-click selection
cut_chars "\t\\\`\\\"\'&() *,;<=>?@[]{|}"
Double-clicking on "2.96688494e+05" thus copies the whole
I think if you mess with xterm's -cc (cut chars) option you can make it not
break words at a period. Poke around in the man page.

You can do this in xterm. The following snippet from the man page may help:

It depends on the terminal. It'd be nice if it were some shared,
system-wide preference (it probably is under KDE, knowing them :) )
I'm not in front of KDE

Copy the whole thing to vi, regex filter, then import to the spreadsheet?

I may be wrong but I think he meant "Konsole" window. Just a KDE wat to

hi shawn,
ahh. this makes sense.

generally, selection behavior is application-specific. for example, given
"Z = 2.96688494e+05" in a Konsole, a double-click selects "2.96688494e";
in a KDE compose window, a double-click selects "2.96688494e+05".
it's unlikely you would be able to significantly modify this behavior in your
appl
is there a way to modify the selection behavior of the mouse under X?
for instance, in this line:
Z = 2.96688494e+05
by double clicking, i can select "96688494e". by triple clicking i get
the entire line of the xterm. it's more useful for me for the selection
to be based on spaces rather than
13 matches
