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?
