Option to adhere to a different behaviour on double-click text selection

#1

Given the following text in ST3:
xx first yy second zz

…when I perform the following steps:

  1. Double-click on the word “first” (the string “first” gets selected)
  2. Press and hold the Shift key and single-click between the letters ‘c’ and ‘o’ on the word “second”

…then the string “first yy sec” becomes selected.

I’d like to have the option in SublimeText to change that to the behaviour that’s more common at least on OS X, where the result after the previously mentioned steps is that the string “first yy second” would become selected. In other words, the selection would span to the word that is under the last click, instead of spanning only to the point of the click.
