Thanks for this Subhan Michael, and Nick.

I wasn't aware of the usage of shift, and when I try it on John's
testing setup, I get an error message displayed in the echo area
which says "user-error: No surrounding element".

I've had these sorts of problems before with various commands, on
this computer which was new in February this year, and its
predecessor. But the common element with both is that I've used the
same USB keyboard! So I'll swap it over to another USB keyboard I
have tomorrow, and see if that changes things.

Thanks
Sharon.
