[Lorenzo Farina <lf.underscore@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just to keep things simple, this is the behavoir of the current patch while
performing a block command:

1) Select/unselect element with mouse click and rectangle
2) Right click - move selected elements (I did not add here keyboard
accelerator, since the block command behavoir has to be changed)
3) Performing common commands as it was called the normal MOVE block command
4) As described into the document, other keys will allow to start a new
block command with the same (old) behavoir
5) When no elements is selected, the left click is handled the same way of
the actual version

Please do not hexitate to tell me if there is something to be changed to
allow an acceptable level of funcionality.
I will wait until you'll give me your feedback about this patch.

Best regards,

Lorenzo
