On both the console and under rxvt I get:

    ^[[c for shift-right
    ^[[d for shift-left
    ^[[C for right
    ^[[D for left

this is under screen ($TERM=screen-bce) and outside of screen
($TERM=linux). The $TERM under X is xterm-xfree86. The solution
must be in your terminfo setting? If you like I can send you my
entries but if you're using Debian they ought to be identical.

The reason that shift-arrows-marking worked for me on the console
and not under rxvt was in keydefs.sl. I changed the following two
lines

   variable Key_Shift_Right = setkey_via_terminfo ("%i", "\e[c");
   variable Key_Shift_Left = setkey_via_terminfo ("#4", "\e[d");

to

   variable Key_Shift_Right = setkey_via_terminfo ("", "^[[c");
   variable Key_Shift_Left = setkey_via_terminfo ("", "^[[d");

and now it works both on the console and under X. Perhaps
the official keydefs.sl should be modified accordingly?

Reasonable question ;) I was testing outside of screen
actually.

GM> What do you get for Help>Show_Key Shift_Right vs Right, etc?

With the changes above I get "wmark_right" for Key Shift_Right
and "next_char_cmd" for Key_Right, both under X and on the
console (again tested outside of screen, as my screen
keybindings takes precedence).

No, you should get the different keystrings regardless.

The ones that may have relevance are here:

  Rxvt*termName:          xterm-xfree86
  Rxvt*eightBitInput:     false
  Rxvt*eightBitOutput:    true
  Rxvt*metaSendsEscape:   true
  !Rxvt*modifier:          alt
  Rxvt*meta8:             false

According to the rxvt manual page:

  "rxvt recognizes two class names: XTerm and Rxvt"

So it should be "Rxvt" and not "rxvt" and also if you have XTerm
class entries after your Rxvt ones they would override the
latter. Many default .Xressources files have XTerm class entries.

I am by no means an expert in this, but I hope it helps!

I am CC'ing the list as I thought it might have some interest for
others.
