This is actually useful. For selection, I have some further tips:

  • Use ctrl + shift + arrow keys to select a whole word or multiple words at one
  • Use shift + end while at the beginning of a line to select the whole line
  • Use shift + home when at the end of a line to select the whole line
  • Use ctrl + d to select multiple instances of a selection. The "f2" technique kinds works the same but with "ctrl + d" you have more control

Thanks for your feedback!! I would say whatever works fastest for you. I end up using a combination of short keys together with a few fast mouse clicks. But your tips might help others as well!
