Subject: 24.5; nxml-mode should support shift selection
Date: Mon, 10 Oct 2016 22:41:37 +0600

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Many movement commands, such as forward-word, forward-sexp,
forward-sentence, next-line, and their backward counterparts, support
shift selection. That is, holding down Shift along with their bindings
causes region to be activated and/or extended.

$ emacs -Q

C-x C-f /tmp/test.xml

    <html>|<head></head><body></body></html>

C-M-S-<right> ;; C-M-<right> (translated) runs forward-sexp

    <html>[<head>]</head><body></body></html>

C-M-S-<right> ;; C-M-<right> (translated) runs forward-sexp

    <html>[<head></head>]<body></body></html>


However, nxml-mode’s commands do not behave this way.

    <html>|<head></head><body></body></html>

C-M-S-n ;; C-M-n (translated) runs nxml-forward-element

Expected:

    <html>[<head></head>]<body></body></html>

Observed:

    <html><head></head>|<body></body></html>


The attached patch fixes this for me. It is based on current master (fd45b3f).
