Hi,

Your second method works better in TextEdit documents.  Make sure that you’ve 
interacted with the text area first then use shift to select.    Special 
selection commands are:

Option-shift-right arrow selects the next word.
Option-shift-left arrow selects previous word.
Shift-down arrow sects from current cursor position to same position on next 
line.
Shift-up arrow selects from cursor position to same position on previous line.
Option-shift-down arrow selects from current cursor position to the end of the 
current line.
Option-shift-up arrow selects from current cursor position to the beginning of 
the current line.
cmd-shift-down arrow selects from current cursor position to the end of the 
document.
cmd-shift-up arrow selects from current cursor position to the beginning of the 
document.

HTH.

Later...
