@item Double-Mouse-1
This key sets the region around the word which you click on. If you
click on a character with ``symbol'' syntax (such as underscore, in C
mode), it sets the region around the symbol surrounding that character.
If you click on a character with open-parenthesis or close-parenthesis
syntax, it sets the region around the parenthetical grouping
which that character starts or ends. If you click on a character with
string-delimiter syntax (such as a singlequote or doublequote in C), it
sets the region around the string constant (using heuristics to figure
out whether that character is the beginning or the end of it).

@findex delete-selection-mode
Many graphical applications follow the convention that insertion while text
is selected deletes the selected text. You can make Emacs behave this
way by enabling Delete Selection mode---with @kbd{M-x
delete-selection-mode} or using Custom. Another effect of this mode
is that @key{DEL}, @kbd{C-d} and some other keys, when a selection
exists, will kill the whole selection. It also enables Transient Mark
mode (@pxref{Transient Mark}).
