oh i think you were looking for -moveRight: but said
left

i figured i'd chime in that '-moveDown:' seems to have
a similar problem when selecting multiple lines down
arrow should select the line below the last selected
line, this currently goes to the line after the first
selected one.

(pageDown seems to work when selecting multiple pages
along with all the ups/left)

don't expect you to fix this one, but figured i'd
mention it since its a similar issue
