No disrespect intended as I'm sure none was meant, but maybe a bit more
context...

Dawn of the millennium.  Scroll-wheel-mice have been a thing for some years. 
I'm sitting there on Windows98, one hand alternating between chips and a
beverage of choice, the other on the mouse as I read yet another article on
Linux, which I ultimately make my operating system of choice for the new
century as the best alternative to installing what after doing my research I
had come to call eXPrivacy due to the then new MS authorization techniques.

I'm absent-mindedly
quick-double-click-select-marking/reading/scrolling/selecting/reading my way
down the article, my mind on Linux...

That quick-double-click-select-mark usage has lasted since well before the turn
of the century thru countless mice/pointing-devices, two major operating
systems and multiple versions/distros of each, across browsers, news and email
clients, desktop-environments, switching Windows->xfree86->xorg->wayland, down
to the present, where I'm still using it in konsole to scroll thru thousands of
lines of kernel git logs or (as above) hundreds of live-git-update packages.

The OSs/GUI-platforms/desktops/environments/apps and now hopefully temporarily
necessary commit-revert patches to apps change, while the
select-mark/scroll/read/select-mark usage, endures.  Why would I complicate it
by adding repeatedly typing one-shot-find text into an otherwise
read/select/scroll-only window in ordered to update otherwise-random-text
one-shot markers, when a simple double-click and scroll serves the purpose?

Oh, and by the way (shaking my cane), get off my grass!  I'm feeling
old-and-set-in-my-ways now.  Or is the term "experienced"? =:^)
