Allow text selection in diff pane of commit and status dialog

Created originally on Bitbucket by abuehl (Adrian Buehlmann)

I would like to be able to select and copy text portions from the diffs.

Currently, this seems not possible, as the left mouse button click is used for hunk selection.

I often miss being able to copy some parts of the diff into the commit message (e.g. a function or class name).

Would it be possible to do diff hunk selection in another way, for example with the right mouse button, using a context menu, and leave the left mouse for text selection -- as it is standard for Windows applications?

On Windows, applications should normally allow to select and copy nearly any text they show.
