Hey JPR, Kevin's post that I'm replying to makes a crucial distinction for you. Every punch creates a new region, so you already have start and end points marked out for you as soon as you hit stop. There are keystrokes to jump to or select the previous or next region boundary or content between them, so those in combination with the keystrokes to extend or shrink the left and right edges of selections make it possible to build up a routine that's as fast (if not faster) than dragging the mouse over the problem area to select it. It'll be slow going at first until the keystrokes become second nature, but once you get through that barrier I'll be surprised if it's not the most efficient editor you'll have used. IMHO, the only other piece of software that comes remotely close working purely from the keyboard is Reaper, but PT still takes the cake.
