I should have said triple-click. Double-click highlights an operator;
another fast click also highlights its arguments.
In the expression like Table[x, {x, 0, 1}]:
a) triple-clicking on { or } highlights {x, 0, 1}.
b) Triple-clicking on 0 or 1 or the second x highlights the arguments of
List, but not the brackets.
c) Triple-clicking on the first x highlights the arguments of Table, but
not Table itself.
d) quadruple-clicking the first x highlights the Table expression
... and so forth.
Ctrl-. or the "Edit>Extend selection" from the menus may be easier for you
than fast clicking.
