Given the html snippet below, If I position my cursor at the end of "Line 6", hold (and keep holding) the Shift key, hit the Home key, and then hit the Up arrow key, I get a selection that doesn't match the region of text I was attempting to select. It actually seems like that procedure was designed to select the inverse. Whereas I was attempting to select all of line 6 and then all of line 5, I end up with a selection consisting of all of lines 2 and 3 and part of line 1 (I'm not sure why line 1 wasn't entirely selected???)
If I'm still holding the Shift key down, and I continue to hit the Up arrow, my selection reduces one line at a time, instead of increasing.
Is any of this by design?
What I'd rather be able to do is hold Shift down, hit Home to extend the selection to the beginning of the line, and then hit the Up/Down arrow keys to include/exclude whole lines and hit the Left/Right arrow keys to include/exclude characters/words.
Any feedback/assistance is greatly appreciated.
