experimental: Right Double Click Removes Word

?2003
xterm

Right double click emulates cursor left or right keystrokes and DEL7f  to move the cursor to the selected text and remove it.

This protocol is fragile in all but the most trivial line editor scenarios.

Only active when clicking on cells that are in the same paragraph (same line or connected by lines that have the wrapped flag set) as the current cursor position.

Sends repeated cursor left or right key strokes to the application that should move the cursor to the end of the selection and then sends repeated DEL7f  to delete the selected text.
