Research direction
No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the editor's mouse-click and text-selection handling, then compare it with existing shift-based keyboard selection behavior. Done means a shift-plus-left-click extends selection from the initial cursor position to the clicked position without breaking ordinary mouse selection.
