That would be too bad. Non-continguous selection would be so much more useful, especially since "Open" and "Open in new window" are easily accessible in context menu, and I don't expect them to be needed more than tops a few times in a row. Selections, however,.. The suggestion post in Ubuntuforums is a quite random one, IMO: the main point seems to be filling the middle click with something, anything. A comparison to web browsers aren't very helpful either, as they don't behave the same on middle or ctrl-click either. Many other things in that post are very insightful though, only this one seems not so thought through. -- Kristoffer Lundén ✉ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ✉ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gamemaker.nu/ ☎ 0704 48 98 77
