Enhancement: "Select Mode" button

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What a great tool, I think it would be improved if you can select text, I 
was thinking: "select mode" toggle button: press and the button will be 
highlighted, indicating to the user that the text from where the cursor 
currently is to wherever he/she moves the cursor will be selected (user 
will be able to move multiple times until he gets the selection he wants). 
Then press the button again to turn off this mode (but keep the 
selection), afterwards the user can cut/copy/paste over the selected text.

Should be doable shouldn't it? :)

I was in the starting stages of doing a similar project (create a new 
keyboard that does copy/paste instead of simple input), but you got there 
first, congrats, great work.

Well, apparently that's what the select from/to here button more or less does, 
sorry, a case of not reading the manual. Text-highlight function would be cool 
though.

The last request is equivalent to issue 10.
