Actually in usual practice, this feature is used with many other
movement commands too, not just the arrow keys -- for instance, S-C-home
will highlight to the beginning of the buffer in typical MS-type apps
(so in emacs, that should work, and so should S-M-<), and S-M-right will
highlight the next word (so in emacs S-M-f should do so as well).
I don't think this should be applied to all shift keys. Doing it for
S-C-home is ok, and for S-M- arrows, but I think it would be a bad
idea to have this apply to ordinary Emacs commands such as C-f and
M-f.
S-M-< is meaningless because the shift key is required to type <.
Either every M-< counts as shifted, or none of them do.
There's also the "_non_-shifted movement should _deactivate_ the region"
issue which Kim mentioned earlier; it occurs to me that perhaps that
could be handled simply by having "shift activation" (activating the
region by using a shifted movement command) add a _temporary_
post-command hook, which would take care of deactivating the mark
appropriately, and would then remove itself from the post-command-hook
list. While it would still be using post-command-hook, I think this
would be much better than the current cua mechanism,
I agree this is a much better way to use post-command-hook than having
it on all the time. It may be ok. However, someone presented another
way to do it using transient-mark-mode.
