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 !
Select a range of text: Click in front of the first character, then hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and click at the end of the text you want to select. You can select just a few characters or a large amount of text across paragraphs or pages.
Jump to end of all text – Command+Down Arrow.
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.
