[Chimera-users] selection of different part of the protein through the sequence prompt

Hi guys,

I'd like to select two precise beta strands of my prot and I thought it would be easier to do so from the sequence editor. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to select different parts of the same protein in the sequence editor; I alwys select the full length between first and last selected residues whatever combo I use (shift, ctrl  and so on). 

Is it possible to do this in the sequence editor?

Cheers,
JD
