Yep, double-click+drag is how I do it. On Linux double-click selects a chunk, and then dragging selects more chunks (fully). I double-click on the first or last chunk and go towards the other end.

Not as good as double-click selects all the id, but at least id doesn't take too much time and I don't have to precisely go to one of the ends.

I've had computers since the mouse was commercialised and I didn't know this was a thing. Amazing, thank you.
