[OS X Emacs] shift-select in org-mode

[Marius Hofert]

Dear all,

As a mac-user, I'm quite used to using shift + arrows to select text. When doing this in org-mode, e.g. in a section starting with "*", the list switches to a TODO etc. Since I rarely use the TODO-list feature, I would like to enable the shift-select feature (or at least trying to enable it to see if it is more suitable). 

I found some comments on this by David Ritter on the list. Apparently one can org-support-shift-select is the setting to look at. I read about it and it seems that one cannot *always* get the shift-select feature due to other features of org-mode. This is fine, however, it says that one can at least turn on shift-select in "many cases" using the symbol "always". So I tried this in Preferences.el:
(setq org-support-shift-select 'always)
I then tried to select text and the *-heading wasn't changed to a TODO anymore, but shift + arrow didn't highlight anything (needless to say, nothing could be copied then) [this is on Lion + Aquamacs 3, latest nightly build]. How can one obtain the shift-select feature?

Cheers,

Marius
