The rules for double-click selection are documented in (info "(emacs) Word and Line Mouse"). Here are the relevant bits: Select the text around the word or character which you click on. Double-clicking on a character with symbol syntax (such as underscore, in C mode) selects the symbol surrounding that character. I'd like to customize Emacs such that when I double-click on a word, the entire enclosing symbol is selected. In other words, it should behave more like the latter case of double-clicking on a character with symbol syntax. Here is a recipe to show what I am talking about: 1. Open GUI Emacs with -Q flag. 2. In the scratch buffer, type "this-is-a-symbol". 3. With the mouse, double-click on "this". 4. Observe that only "this" is selected in the active region. 5. C-g to deactive the region. 6. Double-click on the "-" following "this". 7. Observe that the entire symbol "this-is-a-symbol" is selected. I want to select the full symbol "this-is-a-symbol" in both cases. Note that this is the default behavior in some other editors that I am aware of. I understand that I can get the behavior I want by double-clicking the "-", but "-" is a small target, and selecting the entire symbol is by far the more common use case for me. In the short term, I have a workaround where I advise the mouse-skip-word function. Thanks!
