Feature request: Shift for mouse selection rather than Alt
I've been a user (and not just user) of GNU Midnight Commander for almost 20 years. When it's run in xterm, I use Shift to select text, as using the mouse without a keyboard modifier would move the cursor.
iTerm has similar functionality, but it uses Alt instead of Shift to suppress the application running in the terminal from getting the mouse events. I'm using Mac OS at work and Linux at home. It would be much more convenient for me to use the same key modifier for selection. Please make it configurable.
