Yes, your two expressions works on emacs-27.1 which I just installed
with snap on an Ubuntu 18.04, dragging S-mouse1 sets the region like
mouse-1.
The thing is, on Emacs24 and before I had the following working code:
==========================
(defun mouse-stay-and-copy (click)
"leaves cursor at current position, allows to drag a region which is
yanked at cursor position"
(interactive "e")
(let ((selected nil)
(win (selected-window))
(otherwin nil)
(otherstart nil)
(eventstart nil))
(save-excursion
(setq eventstart (event-start click))
(setq otherwin (car eventstart))
(setq otherstart (window-start otherwin))
(mouse-drag-track click)
(if mark-active
(progn (kill-new (buffer-substring (region-beginning) (region-end)))
(setq selected 1)
)))
(select-window win)
(if selected
(progn
(if mark-active (delete-region (region-beginning) (region-end)))
(yank)
;;(redraw-display)
))
(set-window-start otherwin otherstart nil)))
(define-key global-map '[S-down-mouse-1] 'mouse-stay-and-copy)
==========================
On Emacs Post 24, this stopped to work. When I filed the bug report, I
reduced this to a builtin Emacs function.
On Emacs 24, to bind Shift-mouse1, only the following call is required:
(define-key global-map '[S-down-mouse-1] 'mouse-drag-region)
My mouse-stay-and-copy is just a fancy replacement for
mouse-drag-region. Sadly, its API in conjunction with mouse-drag-track
has changed mysteriously with post-24.
