Sommer PanageI was today years old when I learned that (on macOS) single-click-and-drag will use character granularity for selection whereas DOUBLE-click-and-drag will use word granularity for selection!
David Smith@sommer I have literally worked on parts of AppKit's text system and did not know this 😂 neat!
Tanner B 🆓🇵🇸@Catfish_Man @sommer Genuinely curious, are y'all using trackpads 24/7? I don't know how else to explain this
Saagar Jha@saagar @Catfish_Man @sommer Maybe if the only mouse you've ever used is the Magic Mouse…
I think trackpad users being completely unaware of this interaction is proof of that. Rapid clicking and dragging is not a desirable interaction with a trackpad. Hell dragging with a trackpad at all kinda sucks
@objc I've used a wide variety of mice ranging from well-reviewed gaming mice to specialized ergonomic mice. I'm still very happy with my current setup.
@Catfish_Man Hey to each their own! @saagar started it 😜 I'm not trying to hate on anyone's preferred setup
… except Magic Mouse users
Ralph Waldo Pickle Chips@saagar @sommer @Catfish_Man @objc perhaps you have not experienced the true joy of flicking the logitech mx master scroll wheel and letting its momentum carry you like 10000 pixels down the content
@shadowfacts @sommer @Catfish_Man @objc I’ve done this but there is more physicality to doing it with a trackpad flick
