Trace says about Meta:
 
~Meta<KeyPress>: insert-seven-bit()
 Meta<KeyPress>: insert-eight-bit()
~Meta<ButtonPress>1: select-start()
Button1~Meta<MotionNotify>: select-extend()
~Ctrl~Meta<ButtonPress>2: ignore()
 Meta<ButtonPress>2: clear-saved-lines()
~Ctrl~Meta<ButtonRelease>2: insert-selection("PRIMARY", "CUT_BUFFER0")
~Ctrl~Meta<ButtonPress>3: start-extend()
Button3~Meta<MotionNotify>: select-extend()
~Meta<KeyPress>: insert-seven-bit()
 Meta<KeyPress>: insert-eight-bit()
~Meta<ButtonPress>1: select-start()
Button1~Meta<MotionNotify>: select-extend()
~Ctrl~Meta<ButtonPress>2: ignore()
 Meta<ButtonPress>2: clear-saved-lines()
~Ctrl~Meta<ButtonRelease>2: insert-selection("PRIMARY", "CUT_BUFFER0")
~Ctrl~Meta<ButtonPress>3: start-extend()
Button3~Meta<MotionNotify>: select-extend()

Anything else I can provide?
Cheers,
