Hi Emilio, I don't quite understand what you mean ... the behavior I have
for now is to both select the word and attempt to navigate, which deselects the word sometimes.
Just by reading your mail, I was thinking of doing navigation by
triple-clicking (was that what you meant btw?), which could maybe be doable. Would everyone (Tim?) find that ok. I don't think Squeak can do triple- click to select a line or paragraph (and can't check because my double-click is modified ;-) ).

I am jumping in kind of late on this discussion, so I apologize if it's already been covered.
What about using the function keys or another keystroke combination? My preference would be to *not* modify the double click action. The way I do it in Eclipse is to doubleClick. Then I press F3 or some other key combination and it takes me there. Eclipse also has the concept of the browser back and forward buttons that will help me navigate through my history of navigations -- these actions are also bound to Alt-LeftArrow and Alt-RightArrow.
Eclipse also adds the ability to navigate and get information by just placing the cursor anywhere in the text. So for this code, "someObject.doS[cursor positioned here]omething();", pressing F3 takes me to the method doSomething() in someObject's class. I don't know how hard that would be in Squeak, but it sure would be nice to have.
Just my unwarranted two cents...
