How to select multiple parts of the text?

Copy, cut, format, delete parts of the text in differents areas of the document:

• [Ctrl]+<selection> with one click, double click or sliding.

An other methode exists - the "lazzy" one (don't feel about holding [Ctrl] over 150 pages!):

• Click once on the field "STD" (STanDard) in the status bar

• The field shows now "EXT" (EXTended selection)

• An other clic and it goes to "ADD" (ADD to selection).

-> the ADD mode has the same function than [Ctrl] + click
and EXT the same function than [Shift]+click.
