Of course, such shortcut exists in standard. It cannot be displayed in the menu because it uses Esc and not Ctrl. Excerpts of the online help (also available here: http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/help/index.html): --- Procedure for selecting a *node range* using the *keyboard*: * Esc-Down selects all child nodes of explicitly or implicitly selected element. * OR 1. Select first node using any of the methods described above. Make sure that you have selected the right node by looking at the Node Path bar, otherwise extending the node selection will not work. 2. Adjust selected node range: Esc-Right extends node selection to following sibling and Esc-Left extends node selection to preceding sibling. Note Esc-Right (and Esc-Left) will first select element containing caret if there is no explicit node selection, therefore typing Esc-Right several times is often the quickest way to select a node range. --- (Use "Help|Mouse and Key Bindings" if you do not remember these shortcuts.)
