netmouse: (Default)

*sigh*

I wish there was a way to tell my whole computer, once and forever, "do NOT ever select the whole word automatically when I am editing". When I am moving the mouse to select something, I would like to select the part I indicate, thank you, not random other things too.

Whoever invented that option and made it the default in many programs has a special circle of hell waiting, I think.

It depends on how you edit it. When I'm thinking, I finish the word then change the capital; that solves the problem. When I'm typing at speed, I tend to backspace through the capital and retype, which then gets recapitalized.

Irritating.
