I omitted lost the word "replacement", sorry. This might be a superior replacement for Delete Selection mode. What do you mean by "a superior [?] for D S mode"? Do you mean that it would be good to add those S- bindings to D S mode or to replace D S mode by CUA selection mode? Those sound like two ways to implement the same thing. Right now the question is what to do, not how. Anyway, in D S mode, you can already use S-s the same way, but only when the region is active. I think Kim should have said that in CUA selection mode S- *activates the region* and extends it, whereas in delete selection mode it extends the active region. If that's the only difference, maybe it should be a user option variable.
