Feature Request: Triple Click Selection #989

@carlos-zamora

Description

@carlos-zamora

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Triple-clicking the text buffer creates a selection of the entire line.

Dragging after a triple click maintains the "beginning of the row" anchor but changes the other one.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

If possible, have XAML identify triple-click. Everything else should be pretty straightforward. The TermControl will work with the Terminal to create the selection. When the event is triggered, we need to check the delimiters from the settings to decide what to select. Be sure to build off of the double-click implementation (issue #988 )
