Select and move/copy/resize/recolor/rethicken

New tool mode

[x] Drag to move
[x] Shift-drag moves orthogonally
[x] Selecting color changes that attribute of pen stroke
[x] Ditto for thickness? This is tricky to do because we don't currently store the "natural" width of a pen stroke. We should add this, and maybe replace existing w with multipliers? Then can easily change the entire stroke, relatively.
[x] Setting fill of selected objects
[x] Show bounding box of selection
[x] Duplicate selection via Ctrl-D
[ ] Duplicate via button around bounding box
[ ] Drag target (pan icon?) around bounding box for easier/more reliable dragging (don't need to exactly hit an object)
[ ] *Via handles: Scale object (especially for images from #22) via scale transform
- [ ] Alt to scale from center
- [ ] Shift to scale 1:1 (maybe default if using touch? and if images and text?)
[x] Export of just selected objects (extension of #23)
[x] Copy/paste? This would be especially helpful across pages or boards.

Multiple selection styles (subtools within tool?):

[x] Arrow cursor-style single selection, and multiselection via shift/ctrl, is probably the starting point, as I have the selection code already.
[ ] Drag through objects (in the same style as eraser)
- Is there precedent for this? like a wand. Indeed, Stefan's Journal calls this "magic wand"
[x] Rectangle select
- [x] Illustrator's behavior of >0% hit is most natural...
- [ ] Could add option for Rhino-style rectangle orientation determines >0% vs. 100%
[ ] Lasso select (#115)
- I'm thinking an object gets selected if >50% of the object is in the region. Or maybe 75%? Or could configure, e.g. between >0% or >50% or 100%.
- [ ] "Down from lasso" select (for adding a line for jagged text) [in Stefan's Journal]
[ ] Select below horizontal line (for adding a line)
[ ] Select all (Ctrl-A)
[ ] Select same type/color/fill/size

Thanks! I cast a vote for copy-paste as a priority.

You can now select many objects with a rectangle drag, and you can duplicate selected objects via Ctrl-D!

Yay! Thank you!

One idea for the UI for image resizing (#162) could be via the anchor handle tool and adding anchors at each corner of the image
