Dragging with mouse button 1 strokes out a primary selection between the insertion cursor and the character under the mouse.
Double-clicking with mouse button 1 selects the word under the mouse and positions the insertion cursor at the end of the word.
Dragging after a double click will stroke out a primary selection consisting of whole words.
Triple-clicking with mouse button 1 selects the line under the mouse and positions the insertion cursor at the end of the line.
Dragging after a triple click will stroke out a primary selection consisting of whole lines.
The ends of the primary selection can be adjusted by dragging with mouse button 1 while the Shift key is down; this will adjust the end of the primary selection that was nearest to the mouse cursor when button 1 was pressed. If the button is double-clicked before dragging then the primary selection will be adjusted in units of whole words; if it is triple-clicked then the primary selection will be adjusted in units of whole lines. [with keyboard]
If mouse button 2 is clicked without moving the mouse, the primary selection is copied into the text at the position of the mouse cursor. The Insert key also inserts the primary selection, but at the position of the insertion cursor. [with keyboard]
Clicking mouse button 1 positions the insertion cursor just before the character underneath the mouse cursor, sets the input focus to this widget, and clears any primary selection in the widget. Clicking mouse button 1 with the Control key down will reposition the insertion cursor without affecting the primary selection.
The view in the widget can be adjusted by using the scrollbars or dragging with mouse button 2.
If the mouse is dragged out of the widget while button 1 is pressed, the entry will automatically scroll to make more text visible (if there is more text off-screen on the side where the mouse left the window).
