Primary keys engage and selectively shift the sliding sleeve to an equalized position as well as prevent premature shifting to a fully open position.

Secondary keys lead the primary keys in the shifting direction and engage the sleeve and move it to the fully open detent position. There is also selective disengagement of the shifting tool from the sleeve valve to allow withdrawal of the shifting tool form the well. Furthermore, a method for selectively and sequentially shifting the sliding sleeve for a sliding sleeve valve from the closed to equalizing position, and then from the equalizing to fully open position is disclosed.
