Details:
The "area selection" mode in the Gtk client (right-click-drag) allows a set
of units/cities to be selected.
There's also a 'rectangle_append' variable, initialised from whether Shift is
held down at the time the drag is initiated. This is clearly intended to allow
Shift-right-click-drag to add to the existing selection. However, it's
currently unreachable, because Shift-right-click means "copy thing under
cursor to production clipboard".
After the attached patch:
* The clipboard action is only checked if something suitable is under the
cursor, so a Shift-right-drag rectangle selection can now be initiated from an
empty tile.
* The Shift key is only registered at button-up, not button-down. This allows
the user to change their mind about whether they want to append after starting
the action.
* City highlighting now honours the "append" mode, like unit selection.
