Terminal app and 'select-by-word' characters aka 'character classes'

There are a couple of ancient threads where the poster asked if the OS X Terminal app is configurable wrt the characters used to determine what is a word, when clicking on a line of text. There are no answers to that, except to suggest that iTerm supports it.

Does anyone know if the character classes in Terminal are configurable?

s it possible to make Terminal.app 'click-to-copy' behavior

You may try "Paste Selection" in the Edit menu. The default keyboard short cut for this is Shift CmdV, but you can modify this in
System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts
