Yes, the |modeless-selection| is the only way to select text not
wholly inside one split-window (e.g. including status line(s) and/or
the command-line). This is possible in gvim; in some terminals the
terminal will preempt mouse drags and not pass them to Vim: if your
terminal is of that kind you will have to either copy the selection
the way it is done in that particular terminal, or else switch to
gvim, where Ctrl+Y copies the modeless selection (if there is one) to
the clipboard.

Best regards,
Tony.
