User-Agent: Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; da-DK; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113 I often select words on a page in order to e.g. right-click and search for the word with using a search engine. It would be great if I could press e.g. the Alt key and the selection would automatically snap-select the whole word(s) even though I only select a few letters from the word(s). If I doubleclick on a word it snap-selects the whole word, but as soon as I move the cursor, the snap effect is deactivated. Maybe the snap effect should stay activated Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Press F7, that will turn caret-browsing on : you'll see a cursor inside the webpage. Then you can select words with the arrows keys. To select a word, use ctrl-left/right (option-left/right on Mac). > > If I doubleclick on a word it snap-selects the whole word, but as soon as I move > the cursor, the snap effect is deactivated.
