selection start

The only feature/behavior that I find missing or am unable to write a macro to do is to begin a selection with a keystoke and have that selection continue to grow and shrink as I move around in the file -- usually with remapped cursor keys (e.g., ctl-j, ctl-k, etc). The selection would 'end' when I operate on it -- copy, cut, write, etc. I have used CodeWright in the past, and it works this way -- and I have grown very accustomed to it. The only real difference between this behavior and the normal mode, is that it is not necessary to continue to hold down the SHIFT' key to expand or modify the selection. If there is a way to make this happen via a macro or other mechanism, please, please let me know. I hope this explanation clear enough.
Yeah, I'm a bit strange, but I really don't like to move my hands from the keyboard.
Thanks!
Great editor, BTW.
