Hmmm. This could be interesting, but it differs somewhat from what I'm 
used to doing in a web browser, a text editor, etc. In desktop 
applications that include select, cut, copy and paste, I am able to use 
shift+arrow keys to select a character or a line and 
shift+control+arrows to select a word or a paragraph. Something like 
this is more what I expect from screen readers that implement copying 
and pasting where it doesn't normally exist, though text mode screen 
readers do tend to implement a block oriented marking approach as you 
describe, so this could make sense in situations where standard 
selection methods don't work, especially terminals and non-selectable 
info/error pop-ups.
