This implements the much requested feature where double-clicking a word the the mouse marks it, and triple clicking it marks the entire paragraph (canonical line).
This also somewhat changes the behavior of marking text. Previously, when we marked text with the mouse, it would immediately be copied to the clipboard and the selection would disappear from the screen.
This changes it so that the text is still immediately copied to the clipboard, but the selection stays on screen until the user sends another input (keyboard click or mouse click). I feel this is more convenient and closer to how other applications which allow marking text behave.
