So basically go to Settings -> Universal Access -> Pointing and Clicking needs to be set to medium speed. I had mine set to lowest setting.
Now you can double click a word in the terminal and then with middle click you can paste. You don't have to drag and highlight a word and then right click, and then select "copy"
