[vwnc] TextEditMenusSelectWord

Travis Griggs-3
I get frustrated with the need to place the text cursor before  
invoking context menu sensitive menus, such as those found in the code  
tool.

I sat down and did a quick spike today to make the text editors in VW  
behave more like the ones in OSX, as well as many of the new text  
edits in Windows products. I published it in the Open Repository as  
"TextEditMenusSelectWord" (I know, a step down from my historical  
penchant for bizarre tool names, but I was feeling uncreative today).

Curious if others find it useful. As the package comment states, it's  
just a prototype/hack. I have a different design in mind for how to do  
it properly using Announcements and Assistants.
