(I hate touch pads.)
But you don't have to press-and-hold `mouse-1' (or
touch-pad equivalent), and drag it to select text.
Seriously, read `Mouse Commands' if you haven't
already, and give it a try.
Double-click (`mouse-1') on a word, then click
`mouse-3' on another word. The selection picks up
whole words, from the first through the last you
clicked.
Triple-click a line, then click `mouse-3' on
another line. The selection picks up whole lines.
[I'd like to see the double-clicking extended, so
that if you double-click a paren in Lisp it picks
up the full sexp, and if you then `mouse-3' another
sexp it picks up full sexps in the interval. But
this is a bit trickier.]
