highlight whole word at once in select text tool
while in select text tool, to highlight a sentence, keyboard shortcut is shift + right arrow, which highlights a single character at once. Is there any shortcut to highlight one word at a time like the CTRL+SHIFT+RIGHT ARROW in acrobat/office?
Thanks
Thanks

Re: highlight whole word at once in select text tool
Hello sidabcd,
Welcome to our forums.
I am afraid that for the moment - we do not have a shortcut that would allow you to select whole words using the arrow keys.
I've created a feature request for this and our developers will consider implementing it. Please use the following ticket number as a reference if you request updates on this topic by e-mail: #4037
Please note that I cannot guarantee that this feature will be implemented.
Regards,
Radi

Probably the question is really about using shortcut keys via the keyboard (... but one never knows ...).
If not, double-click in a word, does also select the whole word.

Hi Willy,
Yes the request is more for a keyboard selection of whole words when already in text selection mode, but thanks for the advise - indeed a double click on a word highlights it directly.
Cheers,
Stefan

Yes, i know one can select the whole word with double click, but having a keyboard shortcut would be very convenient and time saving especially when you want to highlight some lines in a paragraph with arrow keys.
I eagerly hope this feature gets incorporated in the next update

Re: highlight whole word at once in select text tool
Hello,
Thank you for the post. I believe a solution is already available for you. If you are using the select text tool, you can set up a keyboard shortcut to highlight that selected text. Simply go to View> Toolbars> Customize Toolbars. Then go to the commands tab and search "Highlight"
Click on "Highlight Text" and then "Properties". There you can add a keyboard shortcut for the command.
I hope this helps!

Thanks Patrick for the reply
Yes i did use this shortcut and it is very helpful
But the use ctrl + shift + right arrow to select individual word at a time instead of single letter (using shift + right arrow) would be very useful and time saving
This feature is already present in most other programs like google chrome, acrobat and office and i feel it would be welcome feature in pdf xchange editor which is already powerpacked with so many features and personalization options
Thanks again for the reply

Hello sidabcd,
You are absolutely correct. I would consider this standard practice among Windows' programs. I have submitted an official development ticket. Hopefully, this will be fixed soon. Please reference this topic, or #4044: Issue with Select text tool (Ctrl+Shift+arrow) when requesting an update to this issue.

Hello sidabcd,
The ticket is still open, and a developer has been assigned to it.
So we do plan to implement it - I just do not have any more specific information at the moment!
