Description
### Is there an existing issue for this?
- [x] I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits
### What would your feature do ?
I would like LMB click-drag (without need to use Ctrl key) to activate rectangle selection, similar to other node based editing UI.
### Proposed workflow
1. Click-Drag using LMB (without Ctrl key) on the empty space in node view
2. Selection rectangle will appear
### Additional information
The panning functionality could be bound to Right Mouse Button click-drag, which is currently not used for anything, so a middle mouse button would not be required.
The UI framework is clearly able to distinguish between RMB Click and RMB Click-Drag actions, so the RMB Click context menu functionality would remain unaffected.
I find it cumbersome using the software with the way it is currently configured.
The Lite Graph section of Settings menu is has many advanced settings already, so I feel there is a good argument to include this as an option.
