x2 - Ctrl-Space

Post by jimspoon »

Ctrl-Space isn't working for selecting non-contiguous files. I just get a ding from my speaker. Tried Ctrl-Ins too, doesn't work either. Can we still do this with the keyboard? Seems like it was working in earlier versions of x2, too bad I deleted earlier versions, I could have tested!

plain space does the same job
INS moves down too

Ah ok. I'm used to keeping Ctrl depressed so long as I'm making a selection of non-contiguous files. Now I have to release the Ctrl key to press the space key to select a non-contiguous file, and then press Ctrl again to move to the next file - otherwise I lose the selection when I move the cursor! Sort of tricky.

Guess it's time to turn on Sticky Mode and get used to it!

yes, i also find convenient temporarily turning on the sticky mode during tricky selections, turning it off afterwards
