Could VSTextMacros be used to change Ctrl+C to copy just the current word, and not the whole line? #32

I have a SO question that I believe can be solved with this plugin. Could you verify that it could for me?

I think you could bind a keyboard shortcut to a macro that copies the current word, but binding it to Ctrl+C would be problematic (macros aren't smart enough to distinguish the case where the normal copy behavior should be used).
