How to bind meta-shift-arrow to mark one word at a time

Question

I am having trouble of marking one word at a time (ctrl-shift-arrow or meta-shift f/b) when connecting from one of my terminals. I would like to bind it also to meta-shift-arrow.

I couldn't find what are the commands to do it.

Any idea?

EDIT: I am looking for something like (pseudocode) (global-set-key (kbd "M-S-right") 'mark-word-right)

If it's relevant, I am using CUA mode.

Answer 1

You were just using the wrong key description text as the argument to kbd. (You can see how to write a key sequence by using C-h k and using the key sequence.)

(global-set-key (kbd "M-S-<right>") 'mark-word-right)

(Of course, mark-word-right needs to be a defined command.)
