The answer is in the API documentation :

Fired when selection inside editor has been changed. Note that this event is fired only when selection's start element (container of a selecion start) changes, not on every possible selection change. Thanks to that selectionChange is fired less frequently, but on every context (the elements path holding selection's start) change.

You can observe all mouse and keyboard actions though ( JSFiddle ):

function logSelection() {
    console.log( this.getSelection() );
}

CKEDITOR.replace( 'editor', {
    on: {
        contentDom: function() {
            this.document.on( 'mouseup', logSelection, this );
            this.document.on( 'keyup', logSelection, this );
        }
    }
} );
