Select region in the timeline

I used to work with Sony Vegas Pro in the past, but switched to Adobe Premiere Pro CC.

My question is, how do I select a region in the timeline with my keyboard, then hit a single key to delete what I selected?

In Vegas Pro, I'd simply mark the wanted region using either the mouse (click-dragging) or the keyboard (Shift-Left/Right), then delete with the Delete key.

Thanks!

Well, for a bunch of clips ... just 'lasso' them with a bounding box with the mouse, then Backspace key to cut them. Cmd/Ctrl-X is the basic "cut" command short.

The problem is that it'll select the whole clip. I want to select just a small portion of it, then delete it easily.

Right now, the only way to do this is to actually go to each of the points I want to cut, select both the video & audio and press Ctrl+K - a bit long process.

Simply selecting with the mouse, then readjusting with the keyboard would be much faster and simply deleting would be way faster.

Set an In Point, set an Out Pont and use the Extract or the Lift command. All can be done with keyboard shortcuts. This will delete the portion of the clip you selected. Extract will do a ripple delete and Lift will just remove the video/audio.
