Hi Karl-Magnus,
I think this is a good idea. It could either be a separate selection
mode (we already have different modes for selection on the drop-down
button) or it could be toggled with a keyboard combination on the
existing "click" mode. Can you open a feature request at
https://issues.qgis.org/ [1] ?
Greetings,
Andreas
