Change chunk extent

[kayaulai]

A useful feature to have would be to be able to change the starting and ending word in two clicks, cf. changing spans in ANALEC (which is one-click and the programme guesses which side you're changing to - can lead to slightly annoying errors sometimes) and changing annotation boundaries in ELAN.

Yes, this would be useful (as applied to a chunk that has already been made). Lets do this in the simplest way possible.

GOAL. Let the user select, for an existing chunk, the (new) first and last token.

1. Right-click on a chunk to click to open the right-click menu.
2. Select option "Extend chunk"
3. Click on the new first token/word to which the Chunk should be extended (leftward).
4. Click on the new last token/word to which the Chunk should be extended (rightward).
5. Click Okay when done.

This [JWD] option can actually work for reducing as well; when reducing, Rezonator just has to make a judgement on whether to keep the left side of the word or the right side. This is essentially what is done in ANALEC, but based on characters instead of words. But I think perhaps a better way would be to just click the desired beginning and end so we do not have to guess what the user wants.

Closed: This duplicates #387.

I've updated and reopened this ticket, because it may be the simplest way to get what we need. What to do: See this comment.

Add right click options: "Remove token from start of chunk" "Remove token from end of chunk"
