Maybe Alt+Click under *nix, and either Alt+ or Ctrl+ Click under
Windows, depending on which modifier does rectangle selection. In my WM
Alt+Click triggers move window, but after a short timeout.

Cursor movement clears at least the primary selection, and multicursors
clears all selections on arrow. Since the keyboard navigation is
problematic, I'm not sure how useful a keybinding will be.

Or block them for now if multiply selections exist?
SCI_GETSELECTIONS.

IIRC, the main (stream) and rectangular selections are stored as caret
position + anchor position + caret virtual space + anchor virtual
space, similar to ScintillaDoc.html#SelectionAndInformation api-s.

Rect selection was simply anchor + caret in scintilla v1. Not so fancy,
but the current implementation is painfully slow after a few thousand
lines (YMWV depending on the CPU).
