Well, in the new console (which you guys will get a hold of as soon as you get the latest beta releases), you can click anywhere on the command line to move the cursor there.

Double-clicking to select a word is a bit difficult, because the console.device gets the double-click but the con-handler is the part that is selecting words. Perhaps I should combine the two into a single entity.

So can you confirm it will be availible for the public Update 3 ?
Pleeease

Yes would be pretty useful !

I am glad to hear this, because I've gotten so used to it in KingCON that I had forgotten it (apparently) isn't standard in the original Amiga Shell, and was rather worried when someone suggested it's something you might look at adding.

Double-clicking to select a word is a bit difficult,

I think that just having "drag selection" (LMB depressed, move mouse, LMB released) should be sufficient. Please don't tell me this isn't available in the new CON?

Click anywhere on the command line and the cursor moves there. Any existing highlighted (selected) area anywhere on the screen is de-selected.
Click and drag (anywhere on the screen) selects the text as you drag along it (as you would expect).

I've got an idea about double-clicking, I'll look into it. It might also let me implement some other functions which we've never had before.

I can't comment about the new console and release dates, that's a decision for others.

Wohoooo, now that's a feature! Thank you very much!
