left mouse double click generates what SIGNAL?

I think I may have asked this before ...

I can "left mouse double click" on word /text in either QEditText or plain text widget and it highlights the whole text / word ....

Which "goto slot" in QDesigner should process this ?

PS it does not work / highlights the word when I select MAC address text.

There is no slot for this.
Double click or single click creates a QMouseEvent

I would imagine that would emit void QTextEdit::selectionChanged()?

@JonB I should expand on the original title.

Single left click generates "text changed " SIGNAL when in actuality NO text has changed and the word or character does not get highlighted , while left double click highlights the word.

What causes (left double click) the word to be highlighted ?

And the right click pops up ":standard" " cut / paste etc. menu.

Where is that documented and what SIGNAL was generated?

These are "mysterious defaults "....hope they are documented somewhere.
