Quickly select highlighted text in desktop app?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

In the mobile app (iOS and iPadOS) if I tap on highlighted text, the entire highlighted text is selected. I can then easily add a note, modify it, etc.

In the desktop though (mac and windows) double-clicking on the text selects the word I am on and opens it up in the dictionary. Right-clicking selects the entire paragraph in a commentary or verse in a bible.

I have the Subscription version.

In desktop, double-click (and triple-click) settings can be edited in Program Settings.

Been a while … I changed my double to 'search' (usually an odd english word). Good reminder.

Hrm… thanks. Yes, that helps. I didn't even know there was a triple-click setting.

Unfortunately actions are limited to:
Lookup
Search
Search Inline
Select Word
Select Paragraph

Nothing for "Select highlighted text" like Mobile does by default.

Thanks. Though.

@Ed , I know what you mean. If I want to modify or add notes to an existing highlight, I drag to select part of the highlight and use the 'Edit notes' option in the pop-up menu. It jumps to the Notes tool and filters on the note or notes (if you have multiple highlights) and allows you to edit the note(s). Hope this helps.

Can someone help me find some texts?
I need help trying to get to the pseudepigrapha, specifically text of 1Enoch. I have tried just doing a search, as well as the Factbook, but I can only find books talking about it.

How do I find the alternative names now that it no longer appears in the Factbook header.
Most of the resources in Logos are not fully indexed so searching for Clement of Rome as a tagged person finds only a fraction of the actual occurrences in my library. Searching for the text string finds many more. Knowing to also search for Pope Clement I adds even more. These alternative searches used to be able to be…
