.. ok and now let's consider the slowdown caused by cognitive
dissonance of a long-habitual and widely used facility being usurped.
"In this window over here, I get 'normal' d-click behaviour and in
this window over here I get... whoops, why is it doing nothing? Oh
it's opening a window. Wassat for? Oh yeah, one of those. Dang. All I
wanted was to select the word to copy. Bugger"
Not to mention the other inconsistencies you'd be introducing -
d-click next to a surrounding delimiter like {"'([ etc - would that
also show sender/implementors of the entire phrase? What does that mean?
drag select across a word/symbol; would that show the senders/
implementors? For either answer, why?
I appreciate the large effort you're putting into the whole services
thing but this smallish detail is a silly thing to get hung up on
when as I previously suggested there are much more valuable
improvements you could turn your talents to.
