Vim can't know what the CursorMoved autocommand is used for. You could
also use it for updating the status line or something else where you
don't want to stop Select mode. And that could involve a ":normal"
command where you want to keep Select mode. This is also a valid
command: :exe "normal <S-Right>"
When in Select mode you are still in sort-of Normal mode. Your
autocommand will have to take care of mode stuff by itself. You can use
CTRL-\ CTRN-N to make sure you are in Normal mode.
