Bug Description

One of the convenient functions of gnome-terminal, that I use quite often, is that you can double-click to select a path, and due to linux's built in copy on select you can then easily paste it somewhere else, or use it for a new command. It would be nice if pantheon-terminal would also get such a feature.

I would add to the context of this bug :

Allow an easy selection of various verbs (words) in the terminal, including (especially) paths.

I believe my branch fixes this by just using the set_word_chars inherited from Vte.Terminal
