CTRL Shift for multiple selection

(1/2) > >>

Melmoth:
Hi again

Am I right to assume that CTRL+Shift doesn't allow me row select (click first item - then ctrl + shift + click last item = everything in between is selected)? Did I switch it of or is there an alternative? I didn't block that keys with another hotkey action...

rick.ca:
The program follows the Windows standard for selection. Shift-Click to select a range, and Ctrl-Click to select individual items not in sequence.

Melmoth:
Thanks...

kinda stupid. You're never too old to learn something new about Windows. Can you imagine how many superfluous ctrl strokes I did in my life...? Now I have to blush.

You must have a tired old brain like mine. I can still learn new things. But then learning anything newer than the new thing can be a problem. :-\

In theory, Windows has also combinations of Ctrl+shift+click ...

click to select the first item
shift+click to select a range from the first item to another item

ctrl+click to select another "first" item (out of the range)
ctrl+shift+click to select another range (outside of the first range)

when you start using ctrl+click to deselect an element in a selected range and/or start ctrl+shift+clicking after that, you can get even more combinations of effects which are difficult/lengthy to explain but sometimes worth to try out :-)
