Select clips keyboard or speed editor shortcuts

Hi experts...hoping this is a quick and easy answer for someone!
I'm relatively new to more-permanent Resolve use, and I'm often working with multiple track projects, where I have a couple of video tracks and several audio tracks (for example a music bed, sound effects, and voice-over). I've just got a Speed Editor, and previously used another shuttle controller along with the keyboard (I find mouse control pretty inefficient!), however I can't work out how to keyboard navigate 'down' the tracks.
For example, if I want to split or trim a particular clip or adjust the audio of a particular track under the playhead (in either the 'cut' page or 'edit' page with "selection follows playhead" on) it always seems a bit random how Resolve decides which clip to select.
So, the question is: Is there a keyboard shortcut which will cycle through multiple clips directly under the playhead? As a specific example, with 3 audio tracks under the playhead, can I keyboard (or speed editor)-select the clip on Audio 3 to move/split/adjust without touching the mouse??
This seems like a pretty obvious query, but I obviously couldn't hit the right search terms on Google so thanks in advance!

In version 17, yes. CTRL+Arrows

Thanks for the quick response Jim... I'm using Resolve Studio 17 (build 15) but pressing CTRL and the arrow keys doesn't seem to do anything (in either the Cut or Edit page). The arrow keys (without control) move frame-by-frame or to the start and end of the next clip but CTRL doesn't appear to add anything... can you be a little more specific, or is there a setting I need to turn on?
Thanks!

***UPDATE: worked it out. I had upgraded from 16 (which didn't have this keyboard mapping) and it defaulted to my v16 custom key map, hence not adding the new Resolve 17 selection options... it working as it should now (and making my edit life a lot easier!)***
