Hi, Please flame me if this already exists, or if this is completely crazy.
I'm doing quite a bit of text selection, from Eterms running mutt, or plain command line output, and I dislike having to use the mouse for this. I would really like to have a way to select some text using only the keyboard. I see this as a mode change: hit some key combination to enter "select" mode, move around using the arrow keys (or better the hkjl keys), start a selection using some key, move around, and stop selecting (and get out of select mode at the same time) using another key. A nice thing would be to have line or block selections (as in "v", "shift-v", and "ctrl-v" in vim). Is this a crazy idea?
