"double/triple click & hold" behavior in F3 Lister

[kapela86]

Total Commander's F3 Lister could have a better support for "double/triple click & hold" with left mouse button on text. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just double click here with a left mouse button, but on second click you hold down the mouse button and move your mouse. This way you will select whole words at once. And with "triple click & hold" you select whole lines. It works like that pretty much in most (every?) web browsers, text editors, etc, except F3 Lister. Try in on some text file, for example Total Commander's own HISTORY.TXT file. Can you add/fix this?

Uh, double-clicking a word in Lister selects it. Triple-clicking on some text in Lister selects the whole line. No need to move the mouse in either case. Therefore I don't understand where exactly the problem is. However, please keep in mind that Lister plugins can change that behavior completely.

I also don't understand where the bug is supposed to be; it's rather a suggestion for a missing feature - which isn't missing as far as I understand it.

I'm not talking about using double/triple click to select ONE word/line. I'm talking about using it to select MULTIPLE words/lines. Do exactly what I wrote there.

Well, it wasn't exactly clear from the OP that you're talking about multiple adjacent words getting selected. Now I see what you mean. Yes, it's comfortable to get an adjacent word fully selected despite moving the mouse just halfway over it, but I wouldn't rate that an essential feature. And it's certainly no bug at all, thus the thread should be moved to suggestions.
