Is there a function for “Select all until end”?

[Marcus Gardner] “I’m hoping there’s a shortcut I don’t know about, is there?”

There is a selection tool on the tool bar and if you zoom way out on your project you can use the selection tool to select an entire area.

There is also an inexpensive plug-in that will help. It’s the VASST Event Tools plug-in ($9.95 USD).

You can select anything in any direction and a whole lot more (cuz’ that’s just what the selection tab does).

In the interest of full disclosure, I’m the author of Event Tools and I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have about it.

To quickly select a group of events: Click the top left event, hold down Shift, and click the bottom right event.

I’d recommend John’s solution. I’m still using the SelectEventsFromCursor script he wrote in 2004, which I assume is also included in that package? First thing I do every time I have to install Vegas is bind that script to Ctrl+w. Not sure why I picked W back then but it’s so engrained in my muscle memory I can’t go changing it now.
