Describe the feature

Currently there is a GREAT keyboard shortcut feature to select block of text with OPTION+CMD+UP/DOWN followed with SHIFT+LEFT/RIGHT, which does most of the wrangling necessary. However, would be nice to have Mac wide mapping of OPTION+MOUSE for block selection as well.

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

A sample expected block selection exoected from OPTION+MOUSE action (here visualized result of keyboard shortcuts usage): block_selection

This is possible with option+shift and mouse now, but it would be great to have option + mouse directly like in sublime.

We're also missing the option to add/subtract to that selection - https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/4458

Indeed:

keyboard way: CMD+OPT allows to select block-lines, followed with SHIFT+ARROW
mouse way: OPT+SHIFT + <mouse-selection>, however, indeed the natural Mac way would be OPT+<mouse>

I like OPT+ !
