Now Im thinking that having the select spot move .. might be useful say in copying hair ... so Im back to figure out how to do it
alignment is the key word.... got to change it from fixed !
Well the Gimp docs are a starting place https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-clone.html Although it is a bit verbose.
The best way is just try the options and see what they do.
Fixed uses the selected point just like a brush, it is not variable. Use it like a stamp or click and drag it is the selected pixels.
Aligned moves the origin as you move the cursor. That lets you paint in a section from one area to another.
None is a cross between Fixed and Aligned. Fix a source then click and drag to paint in an area but release the mouse button and the source returns to the original point.
for what it is worth a quick animation https://i.imgur.com/ROguPXS.mp4 I moved the tool options to show the clone alignment.
