title: Using SHIFT+Arrows to select text in vim / MacVim
body: <p>One of the nicer features in MacVim is that it is possible to use the usual OS commands for copying and pasting text (namely command+C and command+V) in it.</p>
  
  <p>This is especially nice in situations when you’ve worked in another editor just a minute before and your brain isn’t ready yet to advise your fingers on how to type the real thing.</p>
  
  <p>However, there’s one thing my brain needs to do quite a little thinking on: It’s the text selecting mode. In non-vi editors, I’d use Shift+Arrow for this and trying this in MacVim doesn’t work. But on the other hand it does not look to me that Shift+Arrow is being used for anything else either. Is it possible to remap the keys in order to make this possible?</p>
  
  <p>(Ideally, the editor would still be in insertion mode after having selected the text; that would spare some additional key strokes.)</p>
