rxvt-unicode has an option where you can have the selection grow on subsequent clicks. ie, double click selects a word, another click widens the selection to a whitespace seperated token, another click widens the selection to the whole line, then sentence/paragraph/etc/etc. I only ever used it for 5 minutes in between the feature being introduced and me working out how to turn it off, but it may be a way to get the best of both worlds, if awkwardly. -sqweek
