Double-click and triple-click selection are unintuitive #6633

Description

@mgesbert

Usually, double click on a word selects the whole word, and triple click selects the whole "context", like a paragraph, for example.

In Textual, double click selects the whole paragraph, and triple click selects even wider. It feels counter-intuitive to the user, and frustrating as it's pretty common to use double click to select a word or a URL.

We've implemented a workaround for our app, but I feel it should be the default behavior in Textual. Wdyt?
