Bug: org-shiftright etc. do not respect org-support-shift-select [9.3.6 (9.3.6-elpa @ /home/vladimir/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.3.6/)]

[Vladimir Panteleev]

Hello,

I have org-support-shift-select set to 'always. As such, when editing
tables, I expect that Shift + arrow keys to enable Emacs shift
selection. Instead, it moves table cells around.

This behavior did not exist in Org 9.1.9.

The documentation of org-support-shift-select should also be updated
to include tables in the list of contexts where shifted cursor keys
execute Org commands.

Thanks!

The change in behavior happened with 09f950723 (Added keybindings for
`org-table-move-cell-*' functions), which was a part of the v9.3
release.  Looking at that commit and scanning the associated thread [^],
I'm guessing the interaction with org-support-shift-select was simply
overlooked and those org-table-move-cell-* calls should be updated to
inspect org-support-shift-select, like (some of) the other neighboring
branches in the code.

I'll take a look at doing that tomorrow.

True.

Thanks for the report.

Here's a patch that prevents calling org-table-move-cell-* when
org-support-shift-select is `always'.  I'll apply this in a day or two
if no one chimes in to explain why org-table-move-cell-* shouldn't
consider org-support-shift-select.
