the shortcut for Box element selection is MAJ+E the same one as for Toggle Editmode. the wiki says for Box element selection says Shift + E.

    eType         = AlterSelection;
}

Yes, it seems that the accelerators are Shift+B (Std_BoxSelection) and Shift+E (Std_BoxElementSelection) for the two box selections. I guess this command is loaded after the Std_Edit command, so it overwrites the accelerator.
