Level 5 jbenson2 2,150 Posted June 9, 2020 Level 5 Posted June 9, 2020 Just got a wireless full-size keyboard to use in place of my laptop keyboard. I'm stumped by a basic keyboard combination. What is the key combination to select the entire line? Shift + Control + Right Key selects an entire word Shift + Control + Home Key selects everything above Shift + Control + End Key selects everything below

If the cursor is at the beginning of the line Shift+End selects the line. So Home followed by Shif+End should do it. Also, if you triple click the line it will be selected, as long as it is only one line. Triple click defaults to selecting a paragraph.

I mostly use triple click to capture a cell in a table, which is one line most of the time. Some of my not so often used searches which I keep in a table. IAC, Shift+End still works.
