Space bar to select - bug ?

Post by myki »

Greetings :-)

I like to use the space bar to select my files. I learnt that x² had this feature... Cool, but when i use it, i can only select the current item (automatically disabled when i select another one).
So i tried the "insert" button, but the active file is not selected, only the next file and the others are selected.
Did i something wrong ??

Thanx for your help :-)

Try holding down the <Ctrl> key as you use the spacebar to select, and as you navigate the list.  Also, the <Shift> key may be used (and blame Windows for this) for completely illogical mass-selection results.  Safer to stick with <Ctrl> if sanity is worth preserving. :wink:

Thank you for your 2 useful answers :-)
the sticky button is the nearest answer for what would be my easiest way to select severall files...
That is enough for me, but to be perfect, i would like to swap 2 shortcuts : the spacebar with the insert key !
I found the way to change the spacebar but not the insert key.
Can you help me again ? :-)

Edit : trying to write in a better english :-)
