| Jan 29, 2021 at 4:21 | comment | added | TylerH | @41686d6564 It's pretty easy actually: a period followed by a space will catch most cases. Add a few regexes for common/known edge cases. When I need to select more than a single word, I find at least 9 times out of 10 I am trying to select a sentence rather than an entire paragraph. If things were nice we could have both and select a paragraph with 4 clicks. But I know that's difficult because typically the way it's implemented is to select the whole element (e.g. in web browsers), so unless people start parsing each sentence as an individual span... | |
| Jan 29, 2021 at 4:17 | comment | added | 41686d6564 | @TylerH Well, that's subjective then :) I, personally, don't see how that could be useful. Also, not to mention that classifying a piece of text as a "single sentence" is not particularly easy for a computer. | |
| Jan 29, 2021 at 4:11 | comment | added | TylerH | @41686d6564 I said it should do that, not that other people do that already. | |
| Jan 28, 2021 at 23:10 | comment | added | 41686d6564 | @TylerH I've never seen the behavior you described in any web browser, text editor, or just about anything that displays text. Using a triple-click to select a paragraph/line is pretty much the standard. | |
| Jan 28, 2021 at 23:01 | comment | added | TylerH | Actually triple click should select a single sentence, not a whole paragraph. cc @BenKelly | |

| Jan 27, 2021 at 22:42 | comment | added | Ben Kelly StaffMod | Thanks for the report. I believe the reason for this is due to the underlying browser behavior. Triple-click works in rich-text mode because items there are independent elements (<p>, etc). In markdown mode, the entire surface is a single <pre><code> element. I agree that the current behavior is not entirely ideal, especially since it is a regression. I'll look into it and see what we can do. | |
