Explanation

Holding down the Shift key while using arrow keys (Shift+↑, Shift+↓, etc.) is the standard method for selecting or highlighting text without using a mouse. This works across virtually all text editors and word processors. F5 is typically for refresh or find/replace, Ctrl+arrow keys move the cursor by word, and it is definitely not impossible.
