Selecting/deselecting files with Shift + Arrow Down/Up
« on: July 29, 2013, 09:43:18 »
MultiCommander 3.3 build 1442 32 bit edition from Jul 28 2013 (and earlier versions)

Selecting files with Shift + Arrow Down/Up does not seem to work as it should.

The last file (the one under cursor) is selected as well, while it should not be. Also it is impossible to deselect files with Shift + Arrow Down/Up.

Selecting the current item is by design. (even Windows Explorer does that, but WinExplorer also does a lot of stupid things :) )
I think it would look weird if it was not because shift+arrow is doing range selecting from current to new item.

But I will see if it is possible to unselect when moving in the other direction. It can be a bit trick specially in Commander-styled mode since it does not auto unselect if a new item is selected.

Different file commander do it in a different way.
In Total Commander file under cursor is NOT selected.
In FreeCommander XE file under cursor is selected.
