triple click

Highlight entire paragraph

Triple click is clicking a mouse button three times in rapid succession.

In most text applications, a triple click selects an entire paragraph or line, just as a double click selects a word: Triple click to highlight the whole sentence.

The gesture extends to trackpads and touchscreens with tap-based selection.
