new feature: allow text selection by holding Shift with the cursor keys
Add the keycodes and routines to allow the user to forego setting the
mark explicitly (with M-A / ^6) and instead quickly select a few words
or lines by holding down Shift together with the movement keys.
(Some combinations with Shift are swallowed by some terminal emulators.
To work around some of those, the combinations Shift+Alt+Left/Right work
as Shift+Home/End and Shift+Alt+Up/Down work as Shift+PageUp/PageDown.)
