To avoid that annoying habit of having to hold down the shift key
you can set sticky keys in the preferences to allow you to turn it on
and off with 5 consecutive presses of the left shift key. That way
two presses of the shift key will lock it down so you can navigate
with the arrows sans the shift. When you are done just hit the shift
key again and it is off....
Not sure if that helps... but I do share your annoyance at all of
the very functional tools we had back in the text based OS
days that we threw out with the bath water. Bu then if one thing is
true of technology these days, it's that kids don't know their history!
