### Selection commands

In the Edit menu, you'll see some new commands under the other selection commands that all have corresponding keyboard shortcuts for easy access:

#### Undo Selection (`⌥⌘[`)

Removes the last-selected node from the selection set

#### Continue Selection (`⌥⌘]`)

Selects a node based on the pattern of the last two nodes you selected

#### Grow Selection (`⌥⌘+`)

Adds closest siblings of selected nodes to the selection set

#### Shrink Selection (`⌥⌘-`)

#### Select Between (`⌥⌘:`)

Selects all nodes between two selected nodes (the two most recently selected nodes)
