Don't know about Pine (that's Pico, isn't it? Yech... :-) ), but both
vim and (X)Emacs can be convinced to use Shift+Movement to mark. For
Emacs, the module "pc-select.el" does wonders in that direction - I
think it even supports the old "Shift+Insert", "Ctrl+Insert",
"Shift+Del" shortcuts.
For vim it's a matter of a few key bindings. It's not perfect, but it
goes a long way.
HTH,
