I'm curious how widely known these are.

Are you aware of these text editing behaviours?

- Double click to select a word.
- Double click and drag to select text a whole word at a time.
- Triple click to select a paragraph.

Trivia: the first two were present in the original 1984 Macintosh.

@wezm Cursed behavior that has bit me many times: double click drag on Mac/Linux doesn’t select the whitespace after the final word, Windows does.

@slembcke @wezm The Windows behavior is hostile here. But yes this and other inconsistencies between applications and platforms are awful. Another I hate is whether "xxx.yyy" is considered a word or 2 separate words and punctuation (where double clicking the dot won't even select the whole thing 🤬)
