Maybe somebody else will have an idea, but I don't think that there
is really an answer to your question as asked.  What you can do is
put the cursor at the beginning of your selection, hit F8, and
then move it to the end of your selection.  This works well for
formatting, cutting, etc, but for some applications I have had
trouble getting the selection extender to "let go".

Another method is to click at the start of the selection, move
down to the end of your selection (using the scroll bar) and
then hold down the shift key while you click the end of the
selection.

Good luck,

It's better for both of us.
