The one regret I have about sam is that it doesn't do scroll-select. I

not marked syntactically, even though I use LaTeX.

So you couldn't do something like clicking on the start and typing in a .,/<pattern>/ where <pattern> holds the last few words of the text range you wanted to select? I understand not having regular markup like a program, but if a few words could be used to identify the end point I would have assumed you could use that?
