Or we could have another key combination that does this.

ctrl+shift+down is used for navigating deeper into the tree. If I am on a bone and I want to select the first slot under that bone, I can use ctrl+shift+down. If it selected all slots, that might not be what I want. I would have to press ctrl+shift+down, then ctrl+shift+right, then ctrl+shift+left to get just the first slot selected, which is awkward.

I'm open to having a way to select all children (or maybe all siblings would be better?), but I don't think we should repurpose ctrl+shift+down for this. The common shortcut for "select all" is ctrl+A, which we aren't actually using yet. We could have ctrl+A select all siblings of the selected tree nodes. ctrl+shift+A could select all children of the selected tree nodes. What do you think?

ctrl+shift+A for the siblings seems like a good compromise! would ctrl+shift+A+down be a crazy shortcut for all children though?
