Feature request: extend selection word-by-word when dragging after double-click #60

Description

@Lmoling

Description:

Currently, double-clicking selects a word, and dragging with a single click selects character-by-character. However, the common terminal behavior ofdouble-click then drag (without releasing) to extend the selection word-by-word does not seem to be supported.

Expected behavior: After double-click selects a word, keeping the button held and dragging should extend the selection in whole-word increments (same as iTerm2 / macOS Terminal). Similarly, triple-click then drag could extend line-by-line.

Current behavior: Dragging after a double-click responds to the mouse but does not extend the selection in word increments.

Environment: Otty on macOS.
