Default Need help with time selection

Hey,

I'm using reaper for a while now and I like it a lot. What I struggle with is the selection of items. What I would like to be able to do is to have the marquee selection tool work like it does in Ableton.

So that means that you'd select based on the grid. And every item (or part of an item) that is within this selection will be selected. Then when you cut or move or copy, it applies to only that what is selected. Is this possible? I know you can make the marquee tool also determine the time selection, but then you can't move or duplicate what's within this time selection without taking the full items (the parts that are not selected). Now you can split the items within time selection but if you just want to copy drag the items this is a bit inconvenient and it's also just a lot of key commands.

Would love to hear your thoughts

Regards,
Toon

I think I solved it mostly. With the mouse modifier dialog in the preferences you can get quite far
