Keyboard shortcut for select current word [message #159348]

I want to be able to assign a shortcut key to select-current-word (ie. the word
under the cursor). To select the current word I now have to get my hand off the
keyboard and double click on the word with the mouse. I want to be able to
accomplish that with a keyboard shortcut. I went through the
"[platform-swt-dev] Mouse selections in StyledText and TextViewer" thread and it
seems it's not that straightforward. I'm surprised that this is not a more
requested feature.

Any idea if this is deemed important enough to make it into a release shortly?

It's the correct group - select word does not exist AFAIK.
