polari does that, see https://git.gnome.org/browse/polari/commit/?id=07ab2b18297494cdd07131a6c8c1c296935a003e Also, cancel on Esc: https://git.gnome.org/browse/polari/commit/?id=9f52d25f3eb6f95f50ef01629f0c1d08335832aa
This is part of the design for Selection Pattern (see https://wiki.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/SelectionPattern), so this shouldn't be an enhancement.
This is an important bug and should be fixed in 3.10 cycle. All GNOME Core apps have this behavior aside from GNOME Music.
The following fixes have been pushed: 634cb96 Enter selection mode on right-click 0c8a8c1 Exit selection mode on pressing Esc
