But you don't have to press-and-hold `mouse-1' (or touch-pad equivalent), and drag it to select text. Seriously, read `Mouse Commands' if you haven't already, and give it a try. Double-click (`mouse-1') on a word, then click `mouse-3' on another word. The selection picks up whole words, from the first through the last you clicked. Triple-click a line, then click `mouse-3' on another line. The selection picks up whole lines. [I'd like to see the double-clicking extended, so that if you double-click a paren in Lisp it picks up the full sexp, and if you then `mouse-3' another sexp it picks up full sexps in the interval. But this is a bit trickier.]
