Select to the end of a line of text:
Cmd-Shift-Rightarrow
Move to the end of a line of text:
Cmd-Rightarrow
Select to the start...
Cmd-Shift-Leftarrow
Move to the start...
Cmd-Leftarrow
Select to the end of everything...
Cmd-Shift-Downarrow
Move to the end of everything...
Cmd-Downarrow
Select to the start of everything...
Cmd-Shift-Uparrow
Move to the start of everything...
Cmd-Uparrow
Select forwards, character-by-character...
Shift-Rightarrow
Select backwards, char by char...
Shift-Leftarrow
... you get the idea.
So if I want to start at the top of this posting, and select every line, line-by-line I go:
Cmd-Uparrow, Cmd-Shift-Rightarrow, Shift-Downarrow (line by line)
It's powerful, when you get used to it, because it's quite 'chord-like'. Not that it stops me typing:
1-Shift-G, Shift-G, Ctrl-E, Ctrl-Y and 'esc :wq'
... but, as always, [fx: Klingon voice] "Today is a good day to VI!"
