The minimum selection functions that I'd like to see are:

Select:
  by element, as setup now
  add to selection (so that selecting N doesn't deselect the previous 
selection
  select all non-H (I know this can be done by selecting H and then 
inverting but a single step is better)
  select all C H O N in a single step
  select one atom and then grow that to all the other connected atoms 
(useful when more than one molecule is in the asymmetric unit and for 
included solvents, ions)
