Sorry, Javier, but that entry just means that nano would recognize the
escape sequences for Shift+arrow (and would react as if simply the arrow
key itself had been typed).
The actual entry introducing Shift selection is this:
Changes between v2.6.3 and v2.7.0:
----------------------------------
[...]
new feature: allow text selection by holding Shift with the cursor keys
Or from the NEWS file:
2016.09.01 - GNU nano 2.7.0 "Suni" adds a new feature: allowing text to
be selected by holding Shift together with the cursor keys.
So, you will need at least nano-2.7.0 for Shift selection to work.
Better: a more recent version (3.1 or 2.9.8), to have more bugs fixed.
