What happens when you double-click on text?
On text. In many programs, double-clicking on text selects an entire word, and possibly other characters, as defined in word boundaries. (In X Window, it will also copy that piece of text into a buffer separate from the system clipboard, as with all selected text.
Is there a way to not select whitespace after a word when double-clicking?
If you then hold down the Shift key and press the Left Arrow key, the selection shrinks from the right side by a single character. This allows you to not select the trailing space originally selected when you double-clicked. This technique works fine until you start selecting multiple words.
