 <h2>Selecting individual objects</h2>

 <h2>Selecting multiple (similar) objects</h2>
-<p><kbd class="mod1">click</kbd> on an object toggles it selected status, so using <kbd class="mod1">click</kbd> on a series of objects will select (or deselect) each one of them. You can construct completely arbitrary selections with this technique.</p>

+  <samp>selected</samp> status, so using <kbd class="mod1 mouse">left</kbd>
+  on a series of objects will select (or deselect) each one of them. You can
+  construct completely arbitrary selections with this technique.

 <h2>Selecting a range of objects</h2>
-<p>In cases where the idea of "select all objects between this one and that one" makes sense, you can click one object and then Shitft click another to select both of them as well as all object in between them. </p>
-<h2>Range Selection</h2>
-<p>These basic principles apply to <a href="/missing">Range Selection</a> - click-drag to select a range, <kbd class="mod1">drag</kbd> to create multiple ranges and shift-click to extend a range to cover a wider area.</p>
+<p>
+  In cases where the idea of "select all objects between this one and that
+  one" makes sense, you can select one object and then click
+  <kbd class="mod3 mouse">left</kbd> on another to select both of them as
+  well as all objects in between.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Time range selection</h2>
+<p>
+  To select a time <dfn>range</dfn> in the Editor,
+  click <kbd class="mouse">Left</kbd> and drag the mouse. 
+  A <kbd class="mod1 mouse">Left</kbd> drag then lets you create other
+  ranges and a <kbd class="mod3 mouse">left</kbd> click extends a range
+  to cover a wider area.
