How to select non-consecutive options of multiple select using keyboard in IE

Question

Using only keyboard, how can I select non-consecutive options of a multiple select element. On Firefox or Windows explorer, I can simply ctrl+Arrow to move the focus and then space bar to select. But I don't see any way to make it work on IE.

Thanks

I've been searching for this for quite a while today. It turns out that it is possible to do multi-select on a select input in Internet Explorer, via the strange shortcut of shift+f8 then arrow keys to move up/down and space to select further items.
