Selecting objects with the keyboard

[AcadDurango]

First, Happy and successful 2009 to all augi members.

Second, back to question, I use the "l" (last) option for selecting objects while executing modify commands, but I will like to know if there are others keyboard shortcuts to select entities, thanks in advance.

From the ._SELECT command...

Window/Last/Crossing/BOX/ALL/Fence/WPolygon/CPolygon/Group/Add/Remove/Multiple/Previous/Undo/AUto/SIngle/SUbobject/Object

I guess only _L,_P, and _G can return a selection set using on the keyboard.

ctrl + A, can select everything before starting a command.

And ALL (or AL) will select everything after typing the command. I use it quite often to get rid of invisible objects such as empty text, e.g.:

Z E to zoom extents
E AL to select everything
R to remove
Then select by crossing over everything

I guess only _L,_P, and _G can return a selection set using on the keyboard.

And for the advanced users, an exclamation mark followed by a known selection set name. I undestand that you deliberately excluded that info in order to avoid confusion for the beginners.
