Subject: bug#1958: 23.0.60; org-mode does not honour shift-select-mode
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2009 12:46:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <46BCBBB3-2ECB-471E-AE22-D5D0A6C088E1@uva.nl> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200901231234.41025.andreas.amann@tyndall.ie>
This bug is now closed, do I need to do something to mark it as such?
I have now checked in a patch that allows users to
set a variable to get shift-selection working in most or
all of Org.
But the default remains to be the old behavior, because
it seems to may that automatically doing shift-selection
in some places but not in other will be confusing to users.
The solution is now that an attempt to do shift selection
will cause an error message with a pointer to the variable
that needs to be configured. In this way, users can make
an informed decision.
