IMHO pure cursor move should not send the region to clipboard per default.
OTOH that seems a useful feature for mouse-regions
If you don't have the tmm region activated, cursor movement shouldn't
affect the selection. If you _do_ have the tmm region activated, on the
other hand, updating the region via cursor movement _should_ affect the
selection, because that's what the X selection is: roughly speaking
it's the "latest highlighted thing".
There should be no difference between "tmm-keyboard-regions" and
"mouse-regions" -- they are both methods of selecting text, and both
look the same and behave very similarly in most other ways; to make
mouse regions "special" would simply confuse the user and disadvantage
keyboard users.
Note that other apps (e.g., I tested firefox and chromium) also work
this way: updating a region of selected text with the keyboard sets the
X selection.
