Use case

In native iOS text fields, double-tapping on text followed by a drag selects a block of text. In flutter apps this doesn't happen.

Proposal

We should support this gesture.

    Thanks for the issue, I agree. Long-press-and-drag currently does work (except in SelectableText #63994), and double-tap-and-drag should do the same thing I think.
