201575 - Add the ability to select text within a link

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 50673

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Christopher W. Curtis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19 i686)
Build Identifier: 

It would be nice if there were a way to select text within a link with a
modifier key.  Currently, attempt to select text begins a drag operation.  A
nice feature to have would allow you to, for instance, hold down the <alt> key
while clicking or dragging and have the link behave like regular text.  Maybe
disabling the single click is too much to ask, but <alt>-drag = select would be
nice.

Reproducible: Always
