And if you want to select several consecutive messages with the keyboard 
then press and hold the Shift key and then press the Left or Right arrow 
key. Moreover, you can navigate to another message without affecting the 
selection with Alt+Left/Right and then you can continue selecting 
consecutive messages with Shift+Left/Right or single messages with 
Shift+Space.
