Words are delimited by any non-alpha or non-numeric character. Control double clicking on any function key labels ( Fn or SFn (i.e. F1, F14, SF1, SF14)) sends that function key.
Block: Control double clicking on any function key labels ( Fn or SFn (i.e. F1, F14, SF1, SF14)) sends that function key.
