All that I really want from the PC behaviour is incremental highlighting
of line / region after C-<space>(Mark set) ... C-f, M-f or whatever. I
don't use any other PC style key assignments as they stomp on the emacs
ones.
Transient-mark mode will give you that behavior, on its own.
You might also want to try delete-selection mode, which gives you transient-mark mode, plus type-to-replace and quick region delete, but without changing your key bindings as PC selection mode does. Delete-selection mode is very good, IMO.
