:) Yes. But I was looking for something more automatic. The problem with BBEdit is that point and mark are always the same (if you allow myself to speak in emacsese). If there was a way to separate point and mark. I could leave the mark where I want, jump to some place in the document and I would have a selection. I guess that's a valid feature request ?
