Hi Dave. You can see all of the key bindings by press Ctrl+Shift+L from
any editor. If you press a second time, you go to the Preferences page
where you can customize these. If you check the box "Include unbound
commands", you can see all of the possible commands you can create
keyboard shortcuts for.
I'm not aware of keys that do what you want. There are a number of
select commands, including Select Text Start / End, and Select Window
Start / End, but these appear to select from the current point to the
beginning or end of the document (as opposed to working together to
create a beginning and end for the selection).
But you can take a look and see if any of these is close to what you
want. For Java development, the Select Enclosing Element is very handy.

Eclipse's text editors don't have the notion of "marking" for selection
like you describe. You can get similar behavior by holding the Shift key
while moving the cursor.
Hope this helps,

If it's unbearably slow that way, you can alternately put the text cursor at one end of the intended selection, and after scrolling with the mouse to reveal the end of the intended selection, hold down SHIFT only while clicking there.
