Tried it. I see 2 problems:
. an annoying 1-pixel horizontal movement when I just press
M-mouse-1, but don't move it; this doesn't happen in a "normal"
selection by dragging mouse-1
. problems when dragging the mouse across a TAB -- you cannot select
just a "part" of the TAB's 8-column white space (see cua-rect.el
for how this can be done better)
In addition, it looks like making the rectangular selection is very
error-prone: about 40% of the attempts I get a non-rectangular
selection instead, and sometimes the selection "jumps" to the other
side, i.e. I drag the mouse to the right, but get the text from the
mouse to the _left_ selected, and the selection extends to the BOB.
Thanks.
