How can I enable shift-select-mode in Emacs evil-mode non insert state

Question

How can I configure Emacs so that the selection of text using shift and arrow keys in the non insert state of evil-mode becomes possible?

Answer 1

It is not exactly you are asking but I think this solves your problem.

Press v and you enter visual-mode. This allows you to use the arrow keys or hjkl to select text.
