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...

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

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. :-\

you are not alone, I feel the same sometimes, and Kelly Knows Something (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0642312/plotsummary)

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 :-)

Yes, and it should be of no surprise trying to remember such things will cause other things to "fall out." ;D

I knew there was something like that... Windows doesn't mind if you use ctrl all the time - i.e. in combination with shift + click. I just forgot to remember that I can forget to use ctrl sometimes... only pvd minds... weird topic...
