First check with @AAlhazwani-WMF whether he agrees with this task

Note in Wikidata triple clicking will select label, ID and the bracket.

I.e. if you go to https://www.wikifunctions.org/view/en/Z10000 and tripleclick on join, it selects "join strings Z10000" (but weirdly not the brackets around the ZID).

@DVrandecic this happens because the parenthesis are specified as pseudo elements via ::before and ::after

exact, in wikidata triple-click selects the whole thing because the parenthesis are in the actual text.

i'm not aware (yet!) of the community use cases/needs for this. when they triple-click, is that because they need the whole object name, eg. "join strings", or is it because they need the whole content of the header "join strings (Z10000)".

i was trying to find some establish conventions, but there's not much around triple-click. i found this well-answered question on stack overflow https://stackoverflow.com/a/2584774, and an article (with issues) on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple-click.

that said, it seems that the expected behavior is to select the whole "sentence", similarly to word processors, so parenthesis included.

Hm, I don't care so much about the brackets.

I never needed the name and the ZIDs at once, but maybe it is just me.

I am moving this from "Ready" to "No current plans" because we don't have agreement on whether something needs to happen here. We can use it to collect comments from the community. If they call for a change of the current behavior, they can request it here and we can reconsider it. Otherwise, no further action is needed.
