In the interests of UI consistency, I think the horizontal
select-all-keys-in-channel should be implemented like in the IPO window. The
IPO window uses a vertical rectangular button next to the name of the IPO,
to select all of the keys in that IPO. I've attached a mockup of how a
similar system for the action window might look as actionwin_sel.png.

It's generally a good idea to keep the UI controls' functions as distinct
and well defined as possible (i.e. scrollbars are for scrolling only) to
avoid confusing the user. If the same controls are used for many different
things, it 'dilutes' the visual meaning that they communicate, so that the
user can not expect what will happen when they use it, or what other hidden
functions it may have.

Cheers

-Matt
