I installed Carbon EMACS tody but I have a problem with the shift key: I can't select region hoding down shift and moving with harrows. Do you have any suggestion?

Answer 1

Check C-h v shift-select-mode RET.

If that's okay, then check the C-h k (shift + arrow) keys to see whether they are bound to something other than the forward/backward char and next/previous line movement commands.

Answer 2

I cecked C-h v but minibuffer do not match shift select mode; I also check C-h k both with shift and nothing appens, and shift+arrow and emacs explain to me only the arrows function.

I also tyed to create a new .emacs file only with :

(setq shift-select-mode t)

Nothing has changed, I still have the same problem

Answer 3

Try:

(cua-selection-mode t)

Look here for more details. This should work on Emacs versions <23.
