That the least important part of the patch --- it was mainly to make it easier
to change the bindings in a consistent way, since there are multiple bindings
that go together.

The Meta modifier was already used by the secondary selection. Shift or control
could have been used as well; I just picked the one that appeared to be used
the least. It's not worth arguing about either, particular not at this stage;
let's get the basics right first.

I'm not sure what you mean. Of course rectangular selection needs a binding. We
just have to select one that is less bad than the alternatives.
