I had mentioned hyperclip as an example of the accelerating level of competition, even at the low-price end, but you cover it much more thoroughly.

Your comment about the ergonomics of editing control incited me to check my installed programs. Not surprisingly, most of the programs I have been actually using permit extending selections and recognize triple clicks; ADM, Idea!, ActionOutline, OneNote, and ndxCards. Even BrownBag MemoryMate, which I haven’t yet uninstalled, allows this. BrainStorm, however, doesn’t, but BrainStorm does a lot of things unconventionally, and it might be hard to implement. Maybe I’ll inquire.

A couple of surprises though. General Knowledge Base, which would appear to have the most sophisticated of editors, does NOT provide these editing controls. And InfoRecall, which has a sophisticated mult-document writing environment, doesn’t allow it, a failing that I think accounts for my disinclination to use it, although I hadn’t noticed the reason.
