Hello Parag,

Nice to see you are working on selecting text by holding Shift together with the cursor keys -- that is a feature many users would want, I think.  What you mean with multiple markers, I don't know.  And changing the behaviour of the Backspace and other keys to delete a marked region... is something that would have to be discussed first.

SO, please subscribe to the nano-devel list and make your proposals there.  And if possible, please keep the functional changes separate from each other: the Shift-selecting from the Backspace-killing from etcetera.  Also, please don't post the entire source (it's too big, Savannah and the mailing list won't accept it) but each change as a separate patch (made with 'svn diff' or 'diff -ur').

I'm trying to add support for multiple markers(not the ones used for marking text) like the ones in Sublime Text, where you can place place markers at many positions and Add/Remove text from those positions while adding/removing text from the current cursor position.

Some of the things I tweaked are:
1) Backspace will now cut marked text, if any.
2) Same goes for Tab, also any text written will cut the marked text first and then go in its place, like most modern editors do.
3) Pressing Shift+Right/Left key will go on marking text in that direction till user holds it, making it more convenient to select text.

I have just started working on it, and the Multiple Markers feature is still a little buggy and not so portable.

But I'm sure with the proper assistance this feature can be properly integrated into Nano and make it better.

I'm attaching the modified source code, Please have a look at it.
