I don't think that interaction is well enough defined. i.e. if you
double or tripple click to select words/lines then you would need to
define that the buffer must only be updated after the
double/triple/quadruple click timeout happens.

Trying the combination, it feels quite hard to pull off to me and
really not discoverable at all.
