A Text Selection Didjaknow

You do know that you can click, hold down the button and drag to select text a character at a time.

But didjaknow…

You can double click on a word, and it selects the whole word. You can also double click on a word, hold the button down after the second click, then drag your mouse and select more whole words at a time.

You can triple click to select a whole paragraph. Triple click, hold the button on the third click and drag to select whole paragraphs at a time.

So, is this now called a nowyaknow?

An added didjaknow:

Get the Firefox plug-in “AutoCopy” by Michael Lidman. Any hi-lighted browser text is automatically copied to the clipboard, saving you the CTRL-C/click-or-CTRL-TAB/CTRL-V shuffle.

The current release even allows for copying from textboxes apparently, though I’ve not tested that, since I just discovered that option just minutes ago.
