I wish PL/SQL developer supported this:

In Notepad and most other Windows text editors you can do the following:

1) double-click on a word to select the entire word
2) while keeping the mouse button pressed down, drag the mouse cursor

In those editors the text now gets selected one word at a time instead of just one character.

Currently in PL/SQL Developer part 1 works, but part 2 does not.

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

I don't understand part 2. For me, dragging a selected word moves the word as you would expect.

It's hard to explain in words what I'm talking about, but I'll try.

What you're saying:
* down, up, down, up, pause, down, drag -> move selected word

What I'm saying:
* down, up, down, drag -> extend selection one word at a time

This last one works in most editors but not PL/SQL Developer, and it would be nice if it would.
