# Text selection

You can define selection criteria for text in Terminal. You can allow Terminal to select only words consisting of letters or words with combinations of letters, numbers and special characters. To specify the range of characters that can be selected:

Seleccione Editar Preferencias de perfíl Xeral.

Specify the characters or ranges that you wish to be considered part of words in the Select-by-word characters entry field. By default, text selection includes all characters with numbers and some special characters: -A-Za-z0-9,./?%&#:_=+@~

Your preferences will be saved automatically.

Once you have set your selection preference, you can select text in Terminal in two different ways.

To select a word in Terminal output:

Double click on the desired word.

To select a line in Terminal output:

Triple click on the desired line.
