OS X equivalent to Win Ctrl+Shift+End

I use Ctrl+Shift+End in Windows Explorer to select a list of files in a folder. I'm trying to figure out if there is a similar method in OS X, but no luck.

I know I can hold Command+Shift and select a list, but that is file by file.

I found it!

1. Select your file.
2. Hold down the Shift and Option keys, then press the down (to select down) or up key.

Hopefully I'll remember that next time I'm dealing with it ...

⇧⌘↑ and ⇧⌘↓ should work in most text views.

In many other types of views like Finder's file views you can use ⌥⇧↑ and ⌥⇧↓.
