Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/9455

State: closed
Merged: Yes


When working on #9403 I completely forgot that
double-click and triple-click should work even without shift.
Fixed it by allowing multi-selection even if not shift is pressed.

Closes #9453

Validation Steps Performed

  • single click = no selection
  • single click and drag = selection starting from first point
  • single click in unfocused pane and drag = focus pane, selection starting from first point
  • double-click = selects a whole word
  • triple-click = selects a whole line
  • double-click and drag = selects a whole word, drag selects whole words
  • triple-click and drag = selects a whole line, drag selects whole lines
  • Shift single-click = defines start point
  • second Shift single-click = defines end point
  • Shift double-click = selects entire word
  • Shift triple-click = selects entire line
  • Shift double-click and drag = selects entire word, drag selects whole words
  • Mouse mode: Shift single-click = defines start point
  • Mouse mode: second Shift single-click = defines end point
  • Mouse mode: Shift double-click = selects entire word
  • Mouse mode: Shift triple-click = selects entire line
  • Mouse mode: Shift double-click and drag = selects entire word, drag selects whole words
