Conemu: Double Click and Drag to Select/Mark Multiple Words?

Created on 18 Sep 2015  路  4Comments  路  Source: Maximus5/ConEmu

I have double click to mark configured:
Text Selection: Always
Change Prompt: Left Shift

But double click only selects one word, even if dragged. Standard Windows UI is double click a word to select, and then drag to select other words. I realize triple click works to select the entire line, but double click + drag is a dearly missed feature.

I still have't found a configuration that works better than what I first posted. I am still hoping for this one. Thanks for the +1.

I've also noticed this. I was hoping there was a way to configure ConEmu to do this, but maybe not? Is there any plan to add this feature?

This would be a nice feature to have. This is how the text selection works already on many text editors and browsers. Hope it will be implemented soon. I am using Cmder which is using ConEmu.

I second this. Seems like a pretty basic feature not to have. If its not default, it needs to at least be configurable.
