Copying 'words' in the edit field

Copies of various items in the edit field can be made in various ways.
Traditional means are the COPY command, the key alt-F4 for rectangular
blocks, and the key alt-F2 for text.

For 'words' (contiguous strings separated by blanks) the best method
from version 3.37 onwards is based on two mouse-clicks:
  1. Click the word to be copied by the rightmost button,
  2. Select the place where to copy the word by the leftmost button.

     Immediately after the first copy, more copies can be made by the
     leftmost mouse button.
     If the mouse is pointing at a blank space between existing 'words',
     the copy is inserted between these words.
     If the mouse is pointing at a 'word' (a non-blank character)
     this 'word' is replaced by the copy.

  3. The copying process is terminated by the DEL key.
