You need to highly the correct test first and move the curser to the correct location to paste text. I bet you can type 123123 several times faster than you can highlight that text in this comment and past it into a reply.

Double click to select a word is fast, and then you are in per word selection mode.

Sure, move mouse to text, double click, ctrl-c, ctrl-v it’s still slower than touch typing one word.
