This works in Windows as well.

If you are really, really in a hurry, you don't have to scroll to reach the very bottom of the document.

Select the first word [at the top of the text area you wish to select], then type CMD-End. Your chosen word remains selected!

Now click, or click and drag, on or near the last word, and you'll see your selection extend to the point where you clicked. If you are dragging, you find you can drag to precisely set the end of the selection.

All this happens more quickly than my wordy explanation makes it sound. ....

Since this trick works with CMD-End, I would expect it to work with CMD-Home, too.

BTW, this seems to work in just about any recent OSX app I try.

cmd-down arrow will move you to the end of the document.

cmd-shift-down arrow will select all text between the insert point and the end of the document. cmd-shift-end will do the same.

using up arrow or home will have the same effect, moving up instead of down.
