Hello Benny, There's a tricky one. I can't think of any software which has a way of selecting a broken up block of items (meaning items with gaps in between) using just the keyboard. With most of them, you'd have to hold down Ctrl and use the mouse. However, there's another way to tackle this, using just the keyboard:
1. If the items you want are in the In-box, you could use zoom (I use Ctrl+Shift+up for this, but it's a hotkey so you might have it configured differently) to make sure you don't accidentally select something which isn't in the In-box. 2. Now try Ctrl+L, which gives you the text filter. Type "Projekt 1" (without the inverted commas). Now only your Projekt 1 items are listed together. 3. Hit Alt+1 or hit Tab 5 times, to get back to highlighting an item in your list. 4. Press Ctrl+A to select all the visible items (which are all the ones which match the text you typed into your text filter). 5. Now you can hit Ctrl+M to move those items where you want, without ever having reached for your mouse. That's about the quickest way I can think of selecting everything which matches a certain text criterium. Hope that helps. I'm sure, with practice, you could get quite quick at it.
