Agreed. This is a regression from previous versions. In KDE 2x and 3x, there
was a checkbox available in a settings control panel, something like "Triple
click from cursor position forward." Perhaps the "Input" or "Advanced" tabs of
Konsole settings would be the right place. This is a very useful option to me,
as well, as I often only need the last part of a line, skipping the shell
prompt and any other areas.

Even without a checkbox of some sort, making it an option in the user's config
file would be helpful.

This behavior looks like a clone of behavior originally in xterm and appears to
have been added around 2002, which is probably around when I noticed it. It may
be an obscure feature, but once you start using it, you'll badly miss it. It's
one of my biggest gripes with terminal emulators found on that other operating
system (aside from excellent support for color themes and really great tab
support, which Konsole also provides with gusto.)
