What we need is configurability like resource file in X.

What I want is to select text with botton 1 and extend the selection with
button 2.  For example, in the editor I would like to delete a large section
of a file (i.e. more than what is visible in the window). I would like to
begin the selection using button 1, use the scrollbar to move down the file,
use buton 2 to extend the selection, and then delete the selected text. It
is very frustrating to make multiple deletes.
