Removing the context menu is definitely an unrelated change in app.js.
Thanks for testing it for me. If nothing different is happening at all,
I suspect that it's because the javascript code that recognizes the
platform isn't working properly. There's not much more I can offer than
what I already have without having a Mac to test on.

I tried applying these changes and the command key still doesn't do anything.
If I use ctrl-click I get the desired behavior but no context-menu (maybe
that's just a change in the newer app.js I downloaded from cvs) except if I
hold ctrl-shift-click the context menu flashes up for a second and disappears.
I'll make sure I've updated the entire app from cvs later tonight and re-apply
the patch and test.

Can someone with a Mac test this patch and see if it works for IE and/or
Mozilla, Safari, etc? Again what is being tested it the use of the
Command key for selecting single non-continuous messages.

Actually, looking at the code again, it might not be that hard to
support IE for Mac. Can any Mac users confirm on this page:

that the keyCode for Command is 91?

shift-click performs contiguous multiple select
command-shift-click appears to perform just like shift-click
At least that's how it works in the Finder, which I think should be
the Mac
reference for this type of behaviour.
I think that substituting command for control with the current
roundcube
behaviour would be fine though as it's really just "more"
functionality.

Is that the standard behavior for Macs? When I implemented the
select/control-click behavior, I studied exactly what Outlook, Outlook
Express and Thunderbird did in Windows (XP) and attempted to emulate
that exact behavior. I don't have a Mac, but if someone could
describe
the exact behavior and key combinations with a Mac on a similar set of
standard applications, I'd be happy to attempt to implement it.
Key combinations to test are:
Click
Shift-Click
Command-Click
Command-Shift-Click
Situations to test are each of these in different combinations with
each
other in different scenarios:
When nothing is selected
When a continous list of things are selected
When a non-continuous list of things are selected
So for instance, what happens when you click a list item, shift-click
an
item 5 below it, command-click an item two up from that one and then
command-shift-click an item another 10 up from that?
If you can tell me definitively that a Command-click and
command-shift-click do the exact same thing in all situations as a
Control, then that will be an easy change. The key is predictability.
What I'm going for here is the exact same behavior in RC as in ...
well
whatever you Mac users use for e-mail.

This new select behavior is nice for contiguous selection but doesn't
really work on Macintosh. When you control-click you get the context
menu
(right click for Mac). Can you add the behavior so that the Command
key
will do the same on the Mac as Control?
