Re: [Protux-devel] a generalized selection proposal

[Luciano Giordana]

Pretty cool, but I thought we would use the TOUCH action to eliminate clicks in

TOUCH is pretty much the substitute of click, but using the keyboard, which is 
more comfortable. 

But for selections, I believe this paradigm is pretty consistent.
