Hi and welcome to LQ.
Have you looked at the
Working with the Selection section of the Kate section of the KDE Help Centre? The section you need begins like this:
Quote:
There are two basic ways of selecting text in Kate: using the mouse, and using the keyboard.
To select using the mouse, hold down the left mouse button while dragging the mouse cursor from where the selection should start, to the desired end point. The text gets selected as you drag.

Just open up Kate and click on the Help menu. The first entry is
Kate Handbook and that's the one you want.
