Have you tried just using

according to the kind hints of Tim Chase and Zyx,
I tried the following in my .vimrc:
set selectmode += "key"
set keymodel += "startsel"
I'm not sure why you think that the values should be in quotes or
with spaces around the assignment, both of which render the
command ineffective. I advised you ry
:set selectmode+=key
not
:set selectmode += "key"
^ ^^ ^
Still pressing<S-Left> in normal mode does not start
select-mode. Though, when I start select-mode with gh, I can
extend the selection using <S-Left>
Does anyone know how to configure vim, so I can start
select-mode by hitting e.g.<S-Left> in normal mode? -
Unfortunately the given hints did not solve my problem.
When I set them as shown at ":help :set" with
:set selectmode+=key keymodel+=startsel
(no quotes, and only 2 spaces: one after "set" and one separating
the options) then using <S-Left> works in terminals that send
such a sequence. This is presuming there's not some build-option
that snips out SELECT mode, though I neither spotted one in
":help select-mode" nor anything indicating such a build-option
in the output of ":ver". The leading ":" allows you to test it
in a vim session; it can be omitted when putting the line in your
vimrc file.
