PC MOUSE TRIPLE-CLICK IN MODERN GUI

Computer mouse single-and double-clicks are widely used in desktop/web apps GUI. Less known and sort of overlooked is the triple-click feature, supported in all major web browser and text editors, extending UI and increasing overall productivity of PC input operations.

MOUSE TRIPLE-CLICK IN WEB BROWSERS

Mouse triple-click feature is implemented in all major web browsers. Try it by triple-clicking at any place within this paragraph to get it selected (yeah, it's awesome!:) A little bit more tricky part is to select the paragraph with hyperlinks: in order to avoid page redirection, point the cursor slightly to the right of the "hot spot" and then triple-click.

MOUSE TRIPLE-CLICK IN TEXT EDITORS

In text-editors such as Microsoft Word™ or WordPad™, single mouse click moves the caret at the cursor’s point, double-click causes the selection of the entire word, triple-click selects entire paragraph if placed within or at the right margin of the paragraph, or selects entire document if pointed at the left margin (like Ctrl+A shortcut).
