--- Comment #15 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
This topic was on the agenda of the design meeting.

To answer Thomas' questions:

   + What should be the default behavior?
     + start with character, revert per character
   + Where should this setting be changeable?
     + no option here (at least not in the UI) (Heiko)
     + option at Tools > Options > Writer & Impress -> General -> Editing
(Luke)
   + How can it be made possible to switch temporarily to the other mode?
     + all or nothing

The point here is probably not primarily the keyboard (works well with
shift+ctrl) but selection per cursor (mouse, touchpad etc.). It's known on
Windows but would be rather disturbing on Linux.
