How To Use Select Previous
With a shortcut key assigned to the Select Previous option, select an item in the design as close as possible to the required item. Press the assigned key. Each click of the shortcut key will cause Select to step onto the previous item in close proximity to the originally selected item, finishing the cycle back at the original item. Select Previous will move back through the previous selected items in sequence. During the cycle the required item will be highlighted.
