Having updated [doubleclick] I made an extension of text widget which is intended to be small and '''stable'''. For features see comment section.

Have fun.

# file: texteditor-0.1.tm

#
# This package extends Tk's text widget by usual bindings.
# This is done by extend the bindtags of given widget by new tag TextEditor.
# 
# Technically:
# New namespace TextEditorBindings
# New widgets .textEditorContextMenu .textEditorSelContextMenu
# Relies on UNDOCUMENTED array variable ::tk::Priv(selectMode)
#     but this is the ONLY undocumented property to use
# 
# Usage:
# textEditor win - creates extended text widget $win
#     with options on creation: wrap -word, -undo yes
# textToEditor win - extends given text widget $win
# editorToText win - removes extensions from text widget $win
# textEditorQuotes - sets internationaL quotes AND dash bindings
# arguments: de en en-AM fr ch C
# 
# Extensions:
#
# Double-click on opening brace { selects to closing brace }, incl. nesting;
# same on [ to ], ( to ), " to ", opening <XMLtag> to closing </XMLtag>, 
# additionaly selects any international quote, but non-nesting.
#
# Quotes are set according to textEditorQuotes.
# When quotes are set to any of de, fr, en, en-AM, ch, 
# then key sequence Escape-Quote produces computer quotes (#34, #39).
#
# Context menu on <Button-3> to set some HTML tags and remove outermost paired tags
# with NO ACTION if selected tags are NOT PAIRED.
