The current behavior I get for selecting hash1..hash2 with (for example) gnome-terminal is somewhat unfortunate, (double-clicking on any character selects the pair plus the separator). Obviously, '.' must be considered a word character, not a separator. I wonder if such selection is easily capable of being told to consider ".." a word separator? If so, it seems the output would be quite convenient whether one or two of the hashes were desired for selection. -Carl --pgp-sign-Multipart_Fri_Sep_29_12:53:34_2006-1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBFHXm+6JDdNq8qSWgRAuLdAJ4jU2e+dPly1DAXw2UhVGvMk9REfQCghj4I CJrK3v+0EyQ9AZ28hdhbZtA= =E9Rm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --pgp-sign-Multipart_Fri_Sep_29_12:53:34_2006-1--
