Holding Ctrl while clicking events allows you to select multiple, nonadjacent events that reside on any track. This method is useful when
you need to move several scattered events by an equal amount within the project.
Holding Shift allows you to select multiple, adjacent events. Selecting any two events while holding Shift automatically selects all events
located between the selected events. Events may be selected from the same track or across tracks. This method is useful when you want
to move several adjacent events by an equal amount within the project.
Selecting multiple events using the Select All on Track command
Right-clicking any track in the track view and choosing Select All on Track from the shortcut menu selects every event on the track.
