It can be applied like this, but also for selecting a narrower range of
events, or in conjunction with CTRL-clicks for selecting a varied grouping
of events, on which to perform any desired actions like delete, copy, etc. I
don't know precisely how useful that would be in average cases, although I
can imagine at least some uses for which it might come in handy, i.e. I
suspect it covers at least slightly (and perhaps substantially) more than
just edge cases.

I think most people with two buttons map some combination to middle mouse
button, e.g. LMB+RMB. I actually didn't think they even made any mice with
fewer than three buttons in the last decade (other than for Macs, of
course). With laptops, don't they generally have either a middle mouse
button or a part of the other buttons (e.g. the very insides) that acts as a
middle button?
Otherwise I have no problems committing this patch. You have done a good
