Right-click in NSTextView selects adjacent word?


  • Subject: Right-click in NSTextView selects adjacent word?

Why does right-clicking in an NSTextView select the word at or next to the click point and how do I make it stop? How are you supposed to copy and paste via the contextual menu if you can't paste without replacing a word?? Is this behavior supposed to be helpful in some way? Why wouldn't they assume that if I wanted the word selected I would just select it? To see this behavior in action, launch TextEdit and try to copy a word and paste it into the middle of another via the contextual menu. Can't do it.

Please tell me there's some magic setter that will stop this and that I don't have to override one of the selection handling methods.

Thanks,
Glen Simmons
