How can I make use of the shortcut to select "all similar elements in range selection" in MU3?
...Since I have to select the element type with right click first, which will open the context menu.

Misread the question. :)
There is indeed no way I know of to make this specific command work by keyboard shortcut. The command was created but as far as I know can't actually be activated meaningfully, because it's impossible to select the element while keeping the range.

That wouldn't really help from an accessibility standpoint since it still involves clicking - what we really need is a way to navigate while maintaining selection.
But meanwhile, for sighted users, this command is largely unnecessary now that you can simply click one element and Shift+click another of the same type to select all similar between them, thus eliminating the need to first make the range selection at all.

Glad to hear it! For the record, this capability was added in 3.5.
