I have the same comments as before, FWIW. My latest question was why we would add all of that stuff - options for choosing modifiers etc. _Users have control_ over key bindings now. Just what's the point of adding this other stuff? And what exactly does that have to do with selecting a rectangular region with the mouse? Why should that be mixed in with providing the possibility of using a mouse to select a rectangular region? And why provide any binding, by default, for doing that? The feature hasn't even been introduced to users yet. Why would we sacrifice a default binding for it at this time?
