--- Comment #2 from Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> ---
Based on xterm's behaviour, with VTB_MARK_MOVE the originally selected word=
 or
line remains selected as the cursor moves before/after the selection.

In VTB_MARK_EXTEND the selection is extended if the cursor is outside of the
selection. If inside the selection text is unselected from the closer end. =
For
example, consider this example, with the words in [] currently selected:

  one [two three four five six seven eight] nine ten

VTB_MARK_EXTEND on the word "four" would result in

  one two three [four five six seven eight] nine ten

while VTB_MARK_EXTEND on "seven" would result in

  one [two three four five six seven] eight nine ten

In contrast to VTB_MARK_MOVE the originally selected word or line will not
necessarily remain selected.
