In other Mac application it is common to be able to combine Shift with
Command + Direction shortcuts to select text in that direction.

The following is a tiny patch that makes it so you can, for example,
Command+Shift+Left to select to the beginning of the line, or
Common+Shift+Down to select the rest of the buffer.

mac-key-mode.el is not part of Emacs.

What version of Emacs are you using?
In the upcoming Emacs-23, there is generalized support for
shift+<movement> to select text, so it should "just work".

Oops, sorry guys.  I took my patch over to the Carbon Emacs list.

I'm using Carbon Emacs (22), with mac-key-mode and other bundled
packages I can Shift+<movement>, but it doesn't have support for
Shift+<command>+<movement> to do quicker / larger selections.
