Really, it's my misapprehension on the key stroking sequence
corresponding to the EmacsKeyNotation M-S-LEFT. In fact, I've tried
the following keys pressing orders:

Alt + s + left-arrow
Alt + (left|right)-shift + s + left-arrow

Thanks, the following key stroking order does the trick:

Alt + shift + left-arrow
