WindTerm also has the three-click function, which is used to quickly select the entire line. But the reason why it is designed like this is to reduce the number of clicks, and hope that after a double-click, you can quickly get the selection you want.

Of course, because everyone's needs are different, it is impossible to cover everything. This is why the options are provided in order to allow you to customize.

Just as although vim is a very common scene, there are many such scenes. For example, when you see a url www.github.com or path /home/user/test/ or file name runme.sh, what you want to select when you double-click will hardly be just a word, but a whole. This is a more common need for most people.

If you have tried WindEdit, then you will find that in WindEdit, double-clicking abc.def.ghi selects the word by default. This is because different tools target different user groups, so even if they are all developed by me, the same functions will have different designs.

The last consideration is that it is easier to choose the shorter text than the longer text, so the long text is selected by default, even if occasionally it is not what the user wants, the user can easily choose the short text by himself.
