I want a way to turn off L6 behavior when I double-click on a word

Ken F Hill

As is, when I double-click a word L6 opens a dictionary and sets the focus there.  All the other windows apps I use have different double-click behavior -- it simply selects the word I double-clicked. I do this so often in other apps that it is my robot-like default.

In L6 when I double-click I would like it to just select the word.  I would like a setting that would let me turn off the current fancy L6 behavior and just pass through the windows behavior.

The fact that all my other apps select the double-clicked word makes L6 double-click behavior kind of aggravating and gets me in a situation where I have to waste time bailing out of the dictionary, refocusing on the Bible text, select text, and copy it -- in what I consider a tedious process.  This has long been a frustration for me in Logos.

Because so many other apps work to select the word on which you double-click, it is "windows standard" in my experience, although I don't know if Microsoft documents it as such.

Many of us are accustomed to the way Logos operates so you would be asking us to learn a new way of functioning to suit your preferred method.  I would suggest that you might learn the "Logos Way."  What is the Logos Way?  If you double-click it opens whatever resource is linked to that in its proper location.  If you wish to select a word, try beginning at one end of the word, hold down the left button and drag to the end before releasing.  If they change it to YOUR preferred way, I'm going to complain.
