> Couldn't you enable both so they can "learn" the interaction over time? The Hotmail model, yeah, absolutely. I just tried it out with Shift+Click and Ctrl+Click and it's great; Fitt's Law at its best. But it never would have occurred to me to try Shift+Clicking, and I never saw anything on the interface that suggested it might work that way. How did you discover it, Suba? If my client's developers weren't already going nuts, I might suggest it now... but perhaps I'll save it for phase 2. :) I'd put in a little help bubble explaining the feature though. As soon as I see checkboxes the idea of Shift+Clicking just doesn't enter my brain.
