Hey Jøran,

This is possible today. Just simply hold shift while you click & drag.

Thanks

Feature Request - Selection box

[Jøran Henriksen]

Hey

I would like to propose a new feature when dealing with canvas interface mouse 
I/O events:
IMHO, it would be a lot better if we had the possibility to drag/create a 
selection box when selecting multiple nifi components, instead of just having 
the possibility to shift-click to do multiple components select.

I would propose the following mouse key mappings:

Right click -> Context-Menu (same as today)
Right drag -> Move canvas (currently on left drag)
Left click -> Select component (same as today)
Left drag -> [New feature] Selection box
Scroll drag-> Move canvas


Best, Jøran
