I know how to select all rows below a point!!!

I made the most amazing discovery - after years of people complaining about this obvious flaw.

Out of my relatively small 40,000 records CSV, I had to split them - and I didn't find a clearly defined uncomplicated way of doing that ala Excel where you hold down two keys and hit "End" and boom, you got everything below row 10,000 all selected, primed and sitting pretty waiting for a simple Ctrl+X to cut and paste into the new sheet.

So, I devised a very easy way.

Thank you Apple for giving me the power to decide!!

I am assuming the items on the trackpad are scrolling down for you or something. If you want to select all rows starting at a row in the middle and ending at the bottom:

Click on the row number for the starting row
Scroll to the bottom
Shift click on the last row

for 2 in Badunits post, to be completely verbose:

scroll to the bottom using the scroll bar (so scrolling to the end should only take as long as it takes to drag the scroll bar to the end of the document).
