      <title>Selecting multiple items</title>
       <p>Multiple selections allow you to apply actions (dragging, deleting, grouping, etc.) to many clips at once.</p>
       <p>Selecting multiple adjacent items:</p>
       <steps>
        <item><p>Click the first item.</p></item>
        <item><p>Hold the <key>Shift</key> key.</p></item>
        <item><p>Click the last item.</p></item>
       </steps>
       <p>Selecting multiple nonadjacent items:</p>
       <steps>
        <item><p>Hold down the <key>Ctrl</key> key.</p></item>
        <item><p>Click on all the items you want to select.</p></item>
       </steps>
       <p>You can deselect an individual item by clicking on it again with the <key>Ctrl</key> key held down. This can be used in conjunction with the <em>Selecting multiple adjacent items</em> technique above.</p>
