That's what I took it to mean, and am thus reminded that I wasn't
satisfied with just one behaviour across all my xterms. My desktop
starts with mutt in one xterm, and I set the xterm character class to
have double-click grab:
# [&%-./:?@] E.g. Complex URLs, including search terms:
export M_CC='37-38:48,43:48,45-47:48,58:48,61:48,63-64:48'
...
$XTERM $col $f $scroll -geometry ${w}x${l}+720+10 -cc $M_CC -e /usr/bin/mutt &
A second xterm displays my personal manpage tome, and it seems best
with:
# [&-./:=?@~] E.g. all of: of=/dev/rst0
export V_CC='38:48,45-47:48,58:48,61:48,63-64:48,126:48'
The remaining two general purpose xterms are set to:
# [&-./:?@~] Full pathnames, IPs, email addresses,
# simple URLs, lhs or rhs of =:
export L_CC='38:48,45-47:48,58:48,63-64:48,126:48'
...
$XTERM $col $f $scroll -geometry ${w}x${l}+0+80 -cc $L_CC &
The triple-click for whole-of-line still works by default, but I've only
ever invoked it by accident. Double-clicking a whole URL in the mail
client, selecting only a LHS or RHS of an equation in the general
purpose xterms, and grabbing a whole expression in the documentation
xterm, are what stops my GUI exposure being a drag. (I always end up
without the last character when dragging.)
And that works fine in gnome, as well as on whatever LXDE uses. I can't
tell any difference, apart from LXDE starting up a bit faster.
In gnome, font size is settable with Ctrl-Rightclick, but I just set it
with:
f='-fn 10x20'
in the above examples. That works for me with:
col='-fg yellow -bg darkslategrey -cr red'
