I've implemented selection of text with the mouse in rlworkbench. Here is a demo.

The selection goes into the X11/Wayland "primary selection" clipboard which can be pasted with the middle mouse button.

Sometimes when writing a document, I do that by copy and pasting text from various sources. I do that with the mouse. So it has been very convenient to be able to use the mouse in rlworkbench as well. It's starting to feel more and more like a "native application".
