Maybe this has been around forever; news to me.

You can put one finger on the start, and the other finger on the end  to highlight a big section.

I found this out by accident when I was two-finger scrolling, trying to get the absolutely perfect view for a copy. What I didn't notice, was I was leaving a trail of unintended highlights all over the place.

Apparently the key is the speed; if you move the 2-finger scroll too slow, you start highlighting.  A lot.  Have to 2-finger scroll with command.  No sniffling scrolls.

(I'm on the 12/15 update from today; mult-tasking gestures off).
