Of course it is...

define fixed_indent()
{
   !if (is_visible_mark)
     self_insert_cmd();
   else
     ...
}

  Possible as well...

   ... 
   else
     {
        () = dupmark;
        ...
     }

  This is already prepared. In my cua.sl, uncomment the first line and comment the second:
  
% setkey("mark_buffer",                "^A");   % mark All (KDE default)
setkey("dabbrev",                "^A");   % smart Abbreviation (jed default)
  
  This is due to my personal preference but should probabely be changed to the 
  cua default (as I can rebind it in my .jedrc)

  Yes indeed, but unfortunately, under Unix, jed doesnot distinguish
  Shift-Arrow and Ctrl-Shift-Arrow keypresses.

  The cua-like applications I tried do not do this (nor would I like them to),
  but it can be easily achieved using dupmark. I could add an option to
  my cuamark.sl if required.

  Klaus Schmidt had a fix for this...

  Yes, as long as not an even better name is found.
