Selecting multiple Tracks

If this has already been addressed, my appologies.
If I have three tracks in Vegas, one track with video made of several events, one with the corresponding audio and the last track (the top track) with ending credits. I have positioned the credit event where I want it at the end of the show...
If you want to make a change at the beginning of the video track that moves the rest of the video (and audio since they are linked) how do you easily select all tracks above (or below) thru the end of the show without having to slide all the way to the end of the show to events positioned above or below. I use "Select Events to End" which will select all the main video and audio track events but not the credit track.
I suspect there must be an easier way than having to go to the end to select the credits, but I haven't stumbled on it yet.
Sorry if this is kind of a remedial question, but it's starting to bug me, having to always go and reposition the stuff at the end (since I usually forget to go to the end to select first before I move stuff at the beginning).

If you're wanting to move EVERYTHING, just press CTRL-A first. This will let you add something to the front.

Other options include:

Insert - Time
Ripple editing
The Select Events tool in Tsunami

Typically I want to change something in the middle and I select all events to the right so I can move everything to the right.
I think I may have just found an answer to my own question, though there is probably a better way. I found it I include the Credit track event in a Group with the Video Track and Audio tracks under it it will keep it's proper orientation when I do a select to end on the video track (assuming ignore grouping is not checked). So if I remember to always do that grouping when I add credits, titles, etc on other tracks I should be OK.
But, have I missed a better way to accomplish the same thing?
