I thought that was standard X-windows behavior, unless I'm missing something.
I complain bitterly that I have to hit ctl-C to copy and ctl-V to paste
in Windoze.
What I would like is for KDE to use the same double/triple click behavior
as Motif. Double-click sets the quantum for selection to word, triple-click
sets it to line. If I double-click, I can select 1st word with
MB1, then single click last word to select with MB3, paste with MB2. But KDE
doesn't want to do that. Where it does, the definition of word gets changed
too. Slash is no longer a word boundary. I now use rxvt instead of kterm,
so I can get near-normal behavior.
