Select whole line from mouse position on triple-click 🔥

I really miss this feature from the Konsole terminal, it has this configuration in settings 🚀:

It works this way, if I do triple-click on some word, it selects the word under the cursor and the whole line to the end.

Examples:

• | indicates where I do triple-click
• > start of the selection after triple-click
• < end of the selection after triple-click

Setting up >pyth|on3-distupgrade (1:20.04.31) ...                             <
>Se|tting up python3-distupgrade (1:20.04.31) ...                             <
Setting up >python3-distupgra|de (1:20.04.31) ...                             <

It can be a little enhanced like this:

Setting up >pyth|on3-distupgrade (1:20.04.31) ...<
>Se|tting up python3-distupgrade (1:20.04.31) ...<
Setting up >python3-distupgra|de (1:20.04.31) ...<

So do the trim of whitespaces at the end of the line.

Would be nice to do it configurable, so the user could decide if he wants to select Whole line or From mouse position to the end of line.

I'm using this feature heavily when I work in the Konsole terminal.

I think this could probably be covered by issue #6511. It's essentially just another selection type that users would be able to choose for a given click action.

Yep! Thanks @j4james. This is a solid /duplicate of #6511, but for us to correctly identify the righthandmost text we'll need to fix #2089.

Thanks!
