Difference between prv and inline Prv

I am composing and I thought that if you Ctr click on a note you should be able to select multiple notes.  But that doesn't seem to occur.  Shift  Click doesn't seem to work either.  Alt Click neither does work.  How do I get my How do I get the inline PRV to come up.  Each view has it's own controls and they seem to be different hotkeys.    Any ways thanks for helping to sort this out.   I need to change the pitches without changing the rhythm.
