I don't know what that means. You want to tweak how it tells where a word ends when you click to select word/line/para ? So e.g. whether "frobozz.quux" is one word or two?
That's what I took it to mean, and am thus reminded that I wasn't satisfied with just one behaviour across all my xterms. My desktop starts with mutt in one xterm, and I set the xterm character class to have double-click grab: # [&%-./:?@] E.g. Complex URLs, including search terms: export M_CC='37-38:48,43:48,45-47:48,58:48,61:48,63-64:48' ... $XTERM $col $f $scroll -geometry ${w}x${l}+720+10 -cc $M_CC -e /usr/bin/mutt & A second xterm displays my personal manpage tome, and it seems best with: # [&-./:=?@~] E.g. all of: of=/dev/rst0 export V_CC='38:48,45-47:48,58:48,61:48,63-64:48,126:48' The remaining two general purpose xterms are set to: # [&-./:?@~] Full pathnames, IPs, email addresses, # simple URLs, lhs or rhs of =: export L_CC='38:48,45-47:48,58:48,63-64:48,126:48' ... $XTERM $col $f $scroll -geometry ${w}x${l}+0+80 -cc $L_CC & The triple-click for whole-of-line still works by default, but I've only ever invoked it by accident. Double-clicking a whole URL in the mail client, selecting only a LHS or RHS of an equation in the general purpose xterms, and grabbing a whole expression in the documentation xterm, are what stops my GUI exposure being a drag. (I always end up without the last character when dragging.) And that works fine in gnome, as well as on whatever LXDE uses. I can't tell any difference, apart from LXDE starting up a bit faster. In gnome, font size is settable with Ctrl-Rightclick, but I just set it with: f='-fn 10x20' in the above examples. That works for me with: col='-fg yellow -bg darkslategrey -cr red' Erik -- Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist. - Kenneth Boulding, economist
