In Red Hat, if there is a path somewhere on my terminal window and I triple click it, the whole path is selected. I can then easily copy it using middle-click or a regular copy-paste.
This doesn't seem to work in Terminal.app, i.e. triple click selects the whole line which is most of the time useless.
Is there a way to change this behavior? Should I look into other terminal apps like iTerm?
Ok, The solution was not simple. but I found it in http://www.softpanorama.org/Scripting/Shellorama/inputrc.shtml.
When I ran bind -p i've noticed that I have a line like this per each char:
"A": self-insert
but not for "B". so I've ran:
bind -p > ~/.inputrc
then I've edited the file and added the letter.
Great Success.
I'm not aware of a way to do it with the built-in Terminal app, but this is a feature that some terminal replacement apps, like iTerm 2, support.

The shortcut for Terminal.app is ⌘+⇧+doubleclick.
