feature request - mark with mouse optional

[olenm]

I would like to make this feature optional, from the README:

If you use the mouse to make a selection, it will set the mark at the beginning of your selection point will be at the end, thus your emacs region and selection will be the same.

(I am currently using this on a Mac)

The reason is when I mark a selection with the mouse and copy with Command+C, the selection unselects after the copy (and I find this terribly frustrating) - maybe this is a bug?

made a local-workaround:

file: jove.py
line: 127
if cmd == 'drag_select' and settings_helper.get("disable_mouse_drag_set_mark", False) == False:

Hi,

I was away on holiday. I cannot see why the selection is erased after a copy. I should probably try to fix that.

Meanwhile, how does your work-around help this problem?

Also do you use CMD-W to copy the selection or CMD-C? CMD-C means capitalise word, unless you are not using the super bindings ...

The work around does not really work; I was tinkering with it some time ago (on mac and windows) and did not have any great success.
I believe I removed the work around, as alt-tabbing into a document twice (or clicking in it several times) caused the selection-creating mode to lock on, it was less fun.

I've cheated and disabled a handful of re-keybindings (sadly I've remembered OS level default copy-paste shortcuts).
My initial use-case for this plugin was the splitting of windows and navigating through them (which is better than subl out of box) - I'm always opening the same file in multiple locations in a side-panel.
