Shift-arrow and M-arrow bindings in OSX port of Emacs 23

Shift-arrow and M-arrow bindings in OSX port of Emacs 23

[Gaspaio]

hello everybody,

Has any of you  manage to remove de MacUser-friendly custom bindings included in the emacs.app version available with Port ?

Bindings including S + arrow or M + arrow and bound to the end/beginning of line, region selection commands, etc, instead of the default mode-dependent bindings of emacs. 
As a result, I am unable to use most of the interesting commands in org-mode, orgtbl-mode, etc. Every time I use S-<right>, i start selecting a region.
The variable 'org-support-shift-select' don't seem to do anything here.

Any ideas ? I'd like to reset all bindings to emacs default and then customize some of them myself.

If this means an Emacs version that has the variables
ns-*-modifier for Cocoa then you can use these, if not then maybe
the variables mac-*-modifier.

With Mac OS X I use Cocoa Emacs and this

(when (eq system-type 'darwin)
  ;; * modifier keys
  ;;   - key `command': mapped to Emacs Meta
  (setq ns-command-modifier 'meta)
  ;;   - key `option': ignored by Emacs to let the OS do AltGr
  (setq ns-option-modifier 'none))

Well, the problem is not with the CMD or the Alt Keys on my MacBook keyboard, but with the "Shift" key.
I solved part of my problem by binding the Meta to CMD and leaving the 'Fn' for the system, but how do i deal with shift ?

I don't seem to have access to the commands org-shiftup, org-shiftdown, …
When i set 'shift-select-mode' to nil, i still don't have access to these commands, and i think its because <S-up> is being translated to <up>, etc.
How can i stop this translation ? Or should I simply remap the org-shiftup/down ... commands to something line <C-up> ?

I can't seem to find any doc online on this, but i doubt I'm the only one affected ...

Thanks.

Can you try what `C-h c S-up' tells in an Org buffer of an Emacs
started without any config? A Cocoa Emacs 23.2 tells `<S-up> runs
the command org-shiftup', both with shift-select-mode set to t or
nil.
