Re: [ jEdit-users ] Set and move "mark" for selections?

[Advrk A. <avk...@gm...>]

Hello,

Thanks Dale for the reply. I am sorry I wasn't clear, but I can't use
the classic hold Shift method because I want to be able to combine the
selection with shortcut keys for movement, such as Ctrl-f, Ctrl-e,
etc. etc.

If I hold Shift, it becomes part of the key combination, and the whole
thing does not work...

In other words, I am hoping to set some sort of "mark" at a point in
the text, *let go of all keys*, move the caret to another place, then
enter a command that will select everthing in between.

I hope this clarifies my question, again sorry I wan't as clear before...

Thanks!
