Selecting a word via keyboard

Is there a way to select a word via keyboard that simulates double-clicking it with the mouse? When you double-click a word with the mouse, only the word is selected. When you use Shift-Ctrl-Right (SelWordRight), you get the word plus the non-word characters (spaces, dashes, etc.) to the right until the next word.

Shift+Ctrl+Up or Down
Next press search for the selection

That is perfect -- thank you!
