Subject: Added marks for making selection in ncurses. Even though the
 implementation uses a new `MODIFIED` event, it is left undocumented because
 it will likely never be a full implementation of SCN_MODIFIED.

+### Marks
+
+In ncurses, since some terminals do not recognize certain key commands like
+`Shift+Arrow` for making selections, you can use marks to create selections.
+Create a mark at the current caret position with `^^`. Then use regular movement
+keys like the arrows, page up/down, and home/end to extend the selection in one
+direction. Pressing `^]` swaps the current caret position with the original mark
+position so you can extend the selection in the opposite direction. Any time you
+type text, delete text, or run a command that does either, the mark is removed
+and ordinary navigation is restored. You can also press `^^` again to stop
+selecting text.
+
+Marks are only supported in ncurses.
