'Is there a quick keyboard shortcut in QT to highlight current word?

Currently using Qt.

I notice many others have a lightning-quick ability to highlight a word, copy and paste it.

Without using moving your hands from keyboard to mouse, is there a quick way?

Thanks.

Highlighting words is a function of your operating system, rather than a Qt thing. The exact key combination to use depends on which operating system you use; google searching highlight single word <your OS>should give you the desired result.

Typically it's the combination for jumping the cursor to the next word, combined with shift:

  • Mac OS ?option+?+?shift
  • Windows / Linux Distributions ctrl+?+?shift
