You can do this:
(defun select-word ()
"Select a word under cursor.
“word” here is considered any alphenumeric sequence with “_” or “-”."
(interactive)
(let (b1 b2)
(skip-chars-backward "-_A-Za-z0-9")
(setq b1 (point))
(skip-chars-forward "-_A-Za-z0-9")
(setq b2 (point))
(set-mark b1)
)
)
(transient-mark-mode t)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-8") 'select-word)
Then, Alt+8 will select the current word.
-----------------
This select-word command will be incorporated into the ergonomic
keymap design in the future. I just haven't decided Alt+8 is the best
spot, but i've been using it for a year. See
