 Yes, although I agree that it would be convenient.

 Hmm, I can't manage to reproduce it. Which viewer do you use? When does
the select viewer combobox gets focus?

 I think selecting the text is better done with the mouse. I hate using
mouse as much as anyone else or more :-) but this is one of the very few
tasks I think it is good at. At any rate, I can't reimplement vim in M --
although I hopefully will embed it as an editor one of these days.

 If I understand how to reproduce this, I'll try to fix it.
