This would bring jed in line with most apps I know, facilitate
custimizing especially for newbees and save us a lot of hazzle (but maybe
reintroduce it on other places).

Hej, this is cool but unfortunately undocumented. (Did you try it works?)

So now we need some keystrings for 

    Key_Ctrl_Shift_Up    
    Key_Ctrl_Shift_Down  
    Key_Ctrl_Shift_Right 
    Key_Ctrl_Shift_Left  
    Key_Ctrl_Shift_Home  
    Key_Ctrl_Shift_End   
    Key_Ctrl_Shift_PgUp  
    Key_Ctrl_Shift_PgDn  

and wmark|cuamark could become more CUA-like also on Xwin.
