I checked, and this does not work in RagTime nor Papyrus.

I think the keyboard equivalent is Option + 8

double-click to select a word, then shift-click the MIDDLE portion of the next word

Ah, Mart°n, isn't 2.2.7 at least encouraging since it is a week away?

I have never used it, since it is Windows only, but Nota Bene looks like something to emulate for this kind of work.
