What commands?  The keys don't work as they did before
the regression.  That's the bug.

The regression has NOTHING to do with
`shift-selection-mode'.  That's a completely separate
feature.  This is not about having to use a modifier;
it's about being able to extend/reduce/adjust the active
region using every point-movement operation, the same as
before the regression.

Please _at least_ provide a user option to restore this
behavior for `delete-selection-mode'.

Sad.
