Solution
According to this Macword article, and it's referenced MacOSXHints.com tip… it is possible to enter `Start Keyboard Selection` mode, via a keystroke…
Option + Command + Enter
This was written back when 10.4 was new and for ME.. on 10.8.3 DOES NOT work. Hopefully this info may lead you to a solution that DOES WORK. You can watch a movie of THEM doing it here.
Problem
I have been using terminals to code for a while on Fedora. On the native terminal of Mac, i found something very disturbing: I can't select text with the combination of SHIFT + arrows or others keyboard combinations. It is really painfull to use the mouse to select something and even that when i have selected some text with the mouse i can't use backspace in order to delete selected text. is there anyway or any application on mac in order to get that keyboard shortcut ? See you soon !
