In some editing apps, if you click on one spot, scroll around a while, and then hold shift while clicking again, that defines the start and end points of a region to mark in the text, which you can copy into the clipboard.

I really wish that worked in Konsole - I often have large amounts of scollback I'd like to copy and paste into an editor, and it's so tedious to click and drag. I'd like to be able to click a spot, scroll down to the bottom of the konsole scrollbar, and shift-click, to mark from that point to the bottom of the scrollback buffer. Then copy.
