Any way to make double click select more than one word without Javascript?

Issue

Let's say I have a web page which contains command line commands for the user to copy paste. Any way to display it with HTML/CSS which makes double clicking on one word select the entire command?

Example: ls -l /myfiles - clicking on "myfiles" here selects only that word, but for the user it'd be a better experience if the entire command was selected for easier copy-pasting. Again: No javascript is the question here.

Solution

No there isn't any way to do that for a double click without javascript.

The default browser behavior is the only behavior available without javascript.

• Tripple-click will works to select a single line.
• If you want to select a different pattern, you need javascript.
• If you only want this behavior on double-click, you need javascript.
