SelectJCL is designed to
help eliminate the need to drag a selection
window across the screen. For example, a
single right-click with the mouse positioned in
the left half of the word TESTID1,
produced the following selection:
A right-click on the left half of
the word JCL, picked out this
TSO-style dataset name:
Clicking
at various locations on the same line will
produce other predictable results. Typically,
clicking the left half of a word will return that
word plus everything in the parameter that
follows. Clicking the right half of a word will
return only that word. See the chart below for
additional examples:

IDCAMS |
| DISP=SHR |
Left half of the word DISP |
| DISP |

DISP |
| SHR |
Any part of the word SHR |
SelectJCL also has many other
abilities built into it, such as the ability to
return all parameters between parenthesis or
ticks, with or without the surrounding
characters. This can save a lot of the tedious
mouse-oriented selection we usually do today.
With
your right-mouse single-click set to SelectJCL,
and the double-click set to Copy, you can
right-double-click at various locations on the
screen, copying various pieces of text into
multiple copy buffers for later use, with minimal
dragging.
