I second the comment on short selections, if it's a word or two I'd
rather just use the ctrl+c and v commands. The shift arrows are set to
be re-implemented in the final release, right? Having both methods would
be prefered.

Hi,
Press f8 to start selecting. Use your right arrow key to move your cursor.
Use your left arrow to go back. Finally press f8.
You are told what you are not selecting. However it doesn't say the word
unselected.
In the below message I arrowed through the word successfully then arrowed back
until I selected succ and pressed f8. It only copied succ to the clipboard.

Subject: Problem with F8 Selection Method
There are certainly times when the new selection method using F-8 could be
very handy. Heaven knows I've had my problems with the clipboard;
however, it presents a problem, especially with short selections. Once
you're in that mode, any arrow-based command will select something. What
if you select text you don't want copied?
With the traditional arrow-key procedure it's not a big deal to deselect,
but with this F-8 protocol it certainly is. You don't know where you are
till you do the command, and it's a classic Catch-22 situation. You could
spend all day trying to paste a single link. Somehow we're going to need
both methods, as we're going to need buffered browse mode unless the
read-to-end item mode issues and the awkward ppause problems can be
successfully addressed.
