quadruple-click
Select entire paragraph
Quadruple-click is clicking a mouse button four times in rapid succession, typically to select a paragraph or larger text block in word processors and text editors.
The action extends the selection hierarchy: single-click places the cursor, double-click selects a word, triple-click selects a line or paragraph, quadruple-click selects even more.
Not all applications recognize it.
