Nothing new here; double clicks extending drags by word sized
increments are just about everywhere now, even plain old MacOS
TextEdit!  It even works in the Standard File dialog in the item for
the file name.  I agree about the 'y' and 'n', but its use is
spreading; MORE provides it, as do one or two other things (can't
recall for sure what without going back to try... maybe Excel? maybe
MPW?).
