- Sam does brace matching with a double click on button 1:
-
- Button 1 changes selection. Pointing to a non-current window with but-
- ton 1 makes it current; within the current window, button 1 selects
- text, thus setting dot. Double-clicking selects text to the boundaries
- of words, lines, quoted strings or bracketed strings, depending on the
- text at the click.
-
- It lets your left hand do auto indent. Just how hard is it to type tab?
