I would like to execute a command-line command that activates "click and drag" mouse selection on a single local X11 screen.
The goal is to:
- get the selected rectangle **X** and **Y** coordinates,
- get the rectangle **width** and **height**,
- output these values to **stdout**,
- (optional) draw a selection border while dragging the mouse.
