Modeling Tools - How to select multiple edges more quickly?

I just want to know if there is some hotkey for selecting all of the EDGES on a static mesh while using the Modeling Mode? Or just some sort of faster way of doing this?

You can marquee them?

Still not great, but better than nothing…

Jeez…
Blender.
Select similar.
You can select all the edges you’d ever wish…

Why use engine tools?
