From what I can tell mou-select-word is a superset (feature set wise) of select_matching_brace which was never intended to be bound as a mouse event.

For example, mou-select-word supports selecting a brace block, selecting a word, or selecting multiple words (double click and drag).

That works for me.

But what am i doing wrong with mou-select-word? 

In c/c++, mou-select-word does nothing either double-click or mou-select-word as command, like select-matching-brace.

The "mou-" commands are typically intended only to be invoked by mouse events.

Likewise, commands that don't have "mou-" should typically never be bound to a mouse event.

We haven't enforced this restriction. This has confused users. You're not the only one.

Ok, thanks.

I'm not looking to create any new precedence.  I'm okay working within the guidelines.

But can you help with how to get mou-select-word to do selecting of brace block?

How do i accomplish this?  I've reset to default configuration for testing sake.
