Background

This preference controls the selection behaviour when double-clicking text as it relates to punctuation surrounding the text. It also affects the way some shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl+Left/Right arrow) and Ctrl+Backspace) work when editing text.

Possible values and their effects

True

Select surrounding punctuation. Above mentioned shortcuts stop at punctuation characters. (Default on Minimo and all platforms except Unix and OS2)

False

Do not select any punctuation. (Default on Unix and OS2 for all apps except Minimo)
