This is exactly what I proposed. Just the other keystroke would not be
bound by default -- when the user doesn't use shift-marking, they can
bind it to get access to the function; when they use shift-marking, the
function is already conveniently bound, and having another key bound to
it too would be a waste.
But I see you have come back from treating hard and soft marking differently.
