This is totally dependent on the application in question, as far as I know. I think there are X resources to control what xterm thinks a word boundary is -- I don't know about the other terminal emulators. See the section CHARACTER CLASSES in the xterm manpage for more info. As far as other apps go, this may be determined in a widget-set specific fashion, or not configurable at all. -- G.
