The terminal takes care of this.  With shift it uses the mouse events
itself, handling the selection and usually also paste.  Without shift
the events go to the application (if the applicatin has enabled this).

This has nothing to do with mouse behavior.  This is about the
interaction between the application (including a terminal) and the X
server.

   smiling enchantingly and a number of equally delectable GIRLIES draped
   around in the seductively poulticed room.  They look at him smilingly and
   wave.
