Select tall/inside-shortcuts?

Are there shortcuts to "select tall" and "select inside" in Radiant?
Searches yield answers pointing to "no", but it never hurts to ask.

Mostly use "select tall", unless stuff gets really vertical.
Might seem a bit trivial, but it's just disruptive having to use the icons instead of shortcuts for functions I use so often.
Bit of an omission, I think, especially when I see that other functions that I rarely use *do* have shortcuts.

Should have probably asked this 7 years ago :)

In my experience, questions that should have been asked 7 years ago are a little embarrassing to ask now. :D

In GtkRadiant 1.4.0, with the brush selected, right-click menu > select > select complete tall.

In GtkRadiant 1.5.0, just shift + MB1 mouse drag. You can also add shortcuts to functions (like select inside and select touching) in c:\documents and settings\[user]\Application Data\RadiantSettings\1.5.0\commandlist.txt. Make the file read only or it will reset the next time you start Radiant.

Yeah, I know, hence the preemptive 'should have asked 7 yrs ago', but you just *had* to rub it in, didn't you, you bastard! :)

Doesn't really seem much of a convenient workaround, tbh;
Just clicking the icon is faster, although I can see how not having to navigate to the icon, but doing the clicks where you are instead works better.
Have to experiment with that.

See, that's the sort of answer I was hoping for.
Problem with that is that it probably won't apply to CoD4-Radiant, which I'm currently working with, but I'll investigate.
Thanks.
