DW function: redefining DW



This may not be a very useful contribution, but ...

I don't use DW much; I'm as likely to be moving or otherwise handling two
words as one, and I don't want to be restricted as to *how* I define a
word. So I start by hitting F3, then move ahead one word at a time: on my
EVT.KBD, CTL+SHFT + right (left) arrow jumps to the end of the next
(previous) word _plus_ the following (preceding) separator [these are
defaults, no?]; and CTL+SHFT+ALT + right (left) arrow jumps to the end of
the next (previous) word _without_ the following (preceding) separator;
then end with another F3.

If I want to define the next two words without any separators, I hit
    F3
    CTL+SHFT + right arrow
    CTL+SHFT+ALT + right arrow
    F3

The key assignments in CTL+SHFT+ALT are
    75=NI,CR,PW,CL
    77=NI,CR,NW,CL

I've simply used the existing PW and NW functions, hence not discriminating
between different kinds of separators; so most often the separator is a
. I _think_ I would know how to modify this procedure to make such a
distinction, but I just haven't found it important enough enough of the
time to take the trouble. (And I'm pretty confident that if I ever gave
myself the time to investigate the website created by this community's
Masters of the Universe [no sarcasm intended] I'd find that they've
anticipated me and have done it more neatly than I would have.)
