For 1, you have to set up your own shortcut. I just did this a couple of
days ago, but I would also like it to be a default. Options->Menu Shortcut
Keys, then sort by Description and look for "Select Content".

In Arborext Editor, ctrl+e (I think, my memory is dim) would select the
element content for the element containing the cursor. Successive presses
would then select the containing element and so on up the ancestry tree. I
used that feature very heavily.

Cheers,
