This is the way basically all file views work in all apps across the entire industry. If we were to change that, it would break people's familiarity from everywhere else, and with everywhere else. The solution here is some kind of "selection mode" like Dolphin has now, but as requested, this proposal isn't something we can do, sorry. |
Created attachment 181827 [details] This selection is impossible by using Shift and Arrow keys. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have multiple items on Desktop or a Dolphin folder. 2. Use Shift to select a few files. 3. Stop holding Shift to skip an item. 4. Use Shift to select a couple more items after the unselected item. OBSERVED RESULT When a single item is intentionally not selected, the previous selections are unintentionally unselected. EXPECTED RESULT Being able to select more items after the item I didn't want to select without unselecting the items before it, as the attachment shows.
