FWIW, I use S-down-mouse-1 quite a lot, especially when testing various display-related bug reports and questions. Replacing it with super, for which I have no key on my keyboard, would need both more customizations and re-teaching my muscle memory. All that just to provide some kind of "consistency"? I'm not sure it's a good enough reason for changing such a veteran behavior. Thanks.
