In Pro tools while playback is ON i can do so much edit and not disturbing the playback, like this:

In reaper i changed a mouse modifier for right click + drag and select a range and then i added this toolbar action to split item at time selection, using this it prevents the playback head to move to the selected position and stopping the timeline from going on my loop selection. I thgink that With a dedicated range tool all could be made easier.

In pro tools the time selection is made ignoring the playback , if that option is set to On or OFF, in reaper no matter what i try on mouse modifiers or any other option i cant replicate this behaviour.
Hope i explained well this.
