<b>Geany</b> is, in general, very easy to learn because of the orthogonality of its command set - once I have learnt to use one action in one place, the same action works in other places in a consistent manner. Please consider enabling </b>alt+shift</b> as an action that starts a vertical mouse select just as it does with the arrow keys to maintain this orthogonality. <b>Thanks!</b>

Ctrl-click is "goto tag definition" if on a known name, "goto brace match" if on a brace, see [here](http://www.geany.org/manual/current/index.html#editor).
If it thinks the definition is in another tab it will go to that, hence the tab swap.
Rectangular selections are by ctrl-shift-click.

Unfortunately this wouldn't really work, as almost all X11 window manager use Alt+LBM and Alt+Shift+LBM as a mean to move the window, so it basically won't work on Linux. As @elextr said, Ctrl+Shift+LBM is the shortcut here.
