I know the Ctrl+Shift+Arrow_Key to select a word.

But suppose this is the case:

"Hello!, my na|me is Peter"

Where the cursor is where the pipe is. I'm looking for some keyboard shorcut that select the word "name". The only way I found was: Ctrl+Right, Left, Ctrl+Shift+Left. But it isn't practical.

Any hint?

Edit: I'm on Windows 7, and I'd like some generic solution if exists (not software dependent)
