   The quickest thing you can imagine is to have :

xedit*editWindow.translations:  #override \n\
   <Btn1Up>: extend-end(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) kill-selection()

   When you release button1, the text gets automatically deleted. A more
reasonable solution is :

xedit*editWindow.translations:  #override \n\
   Shift<Btn1Up>: extend-end(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) kill-selection()

   This the setting i use. If i want to delete a text, i press shift before
releasing button1.
