I would argue, that graphics (I guess your referring to something like GIMP?) and CAD are no major software. So they don't add up to a "general external consistency" - or at least not enough. I'd also like to emphasize, that also LO Writer and LO calc follow the "Ctrl+click => multiselect" feature for Text and cells.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121967 --- Comment #30 from johnks --- i want to add my 2 cents here. I consider myself 'fairly' proficient in office suites and been using LO for so many years, probably since '08 so yeah anyways, today i had to make a quick presentation and suddenly i was unable to select multiple objects. i tried the mouse, tried to ctrl-click but nothing worked. was on 6.4.2.2 and immediately updated to 6.4.5.2 but same thing. came here to add a bug report and i see this thread and found out, to my surprise that LO allows that functionality but over "shift-click'. I would say, ever since i have been working with GUI, be it ms office or browsers or any other software, ctrl-click is the "status quo". it has nothing to do with microsoft. its just what people are used to. my question. as a new LO user coming from say ms office, how do i know shift-click selects multiple objects as opposed to what my muscle memory does because as a more than casual user, my muscle memory failed and that is not productive I see firefox allows both ctrl-click, shift-click but thats another story. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121967 --- Comment #27 from Pedro --- Considering that all other Office suites have it, it is universal in office suites. If you want to discuss about something being universal then shift click isn't either for this exact function. Just try to press Shift and click multiple non-contiguous files in a file explorer and you'll see the difference. For any user that uses an Office suite that tries LibreOffice, the immediate reaction will be that this is something broken with LibreOffice (and they're not wrong to think that). And no, this is NOT something only for Windows users. WPS Office, Only Office exist in Linux. Google Docs is a web based suite. WordPerfect precedes Windows. However, I do agree that it's not the best to simply replace Shift-click by Ctrl-click. Other Office suites also offer the possibility of using Shift-click, thus: Shift-click or Ctrl-click interchangeably is the way to go. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121967 --- Comment #26 from V Stuart Foote --- A +click multi-select is not universal, look at multi-select for any graphics/CAD based project, and the text/graphics widgets of any X11 based GUI. Word Perfect and WordPerfect Office actually followed that legacy (dropped with Linux support). As does LibreOffice's pedigree. So assertion otherwise is not valid. And, this remains a training and RTM issue for users coming from other Windows based suites. The actual volume of users claiming UX impact is negligible. IMHO => WF *is* the appropriate UX recommendation--nice to do but no imperative. But any dev so inclined to take on enhancing the modifier handling of providing alternate in the selection code (per module) is welcome. Just no blanket change from + multi-selection to + selections. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Proposal: add Ctrl together with Shift as a way to select multiple objects. Advantages: - This way we respect the proud legacy of LibreOffice. - Don't mess with established user workflows. - Facilitate the use of LibreOffice for users used to using Ctrl to select multiple objects. Disadvantages: - We copy Microsoft (the horror).

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121967 --- Comment #22 from Pedro --- Okay, I am sorry if I came of as aggressive. But I find it very distasteful that Stuart insinuates that I want to use "Microsoft" convention. How is that constructive? It's not a Microsoft convention. It's a general convention. Go select multiple files in file managers and you use Ctrl while holding Shift gives you a different action in those cases. Use any other Office suite besides Libre Office and Ctrl is used to select multiple objects. However, having to choose between Ctrl and Shift in most of these Office suites is not an issue because you can use Ctrl or Shift interchangeably. Yes, in Powerpoint you can use Shift to select multiple objects OR Ctrl by default. It provides flexibility to the user to do as he wants to. I already numbered the Office suites that I tested that use Ctrl to select/pick multiple objects/images. Test: 1 - Open Office suite, 2 - Insert three shapes in corresponding presentation software, 3 - Hold Ctrl to select multiple objects, 4 - Deselect all shapes, 5 - Hold Shift to select multiple objects. Expected result: I can select multiple objects with Ctrl. I can select multiple objects with Shift. Results: Can select multiple objects with Ctrl AND Shift: 1 - Microsoft Office 2 - Google Docs 3 - Only Office (another open-source Office suite FYI) 4 - WPS Office Can select multiple objects only with Shift: 1 - LibreOffice. These same Office suites simultaneously allow users to use Shift and Ctrl. Both shortcuts are activated by default. So instead of LibreOffice having Shift OR Ctrl as ONE shortcut, it should conform to what every other Office suite does: provide both Shift or Ctrl as default options to select multiple objects. So while advanced users (which I consider myself to be one and I always thought that LibreOffice was broken in this regard) might be used to Shift, novice users might be used to Ctrl. In ANY OTHER Office suite, a novice user will use Ctrl. In libreOffice he can't. A novice user will assume LibreOffice is broken and will use another Office suite. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121967 --- Comment #18 from V Stuart Foote --- OP wants us to follow Microsoft convention, our implementation was not theirs and our +Click multi-selection is functional. There is no imperative to adopt Microsoft's solutions, especially if they can not be demonstrated to be more effective. This isn't, and frankly our user community comes more from the non-Microsoft centric Drawing application world where Illustrator, PhotoShop, Corel Draw/Paint, Inkscape, GIMP all use a +click multi selection. While adding a based multi-select might be a nice to implement user customization--it in no way represents what should be a default. As noted, implementation of an option would require substantial rework of the control--not worth it. Oh, and by the way the Microsoft multi-selection implementation on macOS uses --not , (nor ).

And while it is convincing to some degree there might also some hurdles. Like shift+dropclick to duplicate or ctrl+doubleclick to go through the z-order of stacked objects (doesn't work for me). Point is, if we change shift to ctrl it might open Pandora's box.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121967 --- Comment #5 from Pedro --- Thank you for the vote Heiko. Now it depends if it's picked up or not. I also find the idea of selecting objects via the Navigator. This can be especially useful if one has multiple objects overlaping each other and a very high number of objects. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

What users expect is Ctrl instead as known from list views where Ctrl works on single entries and Shift for the range. So I vote for changing this. There should also be the alternative way of doing this by the Navigator (no multi selection at all). And the same is expected in Writer/Calc, see bug 121534 and bug 120721. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121967 --- Comment #3 from Pedro --- Using "legacy" as a reason to not adapt Ctrl selection is simply not valid sorry. Otherwise we would not fix or adapt anything in LibreOffice, we would not have Sidebar or Tabbed UI or new icons. We would keep things as legacy. LO is a evolving software. It's normal that users EXPECT Ctrl to be used for multiple icon selection when it's used by text editors, Office suites, web-browsers, e-mail clients, etc. If LO does it different, then it's a bug not a feature. I write this with no intention to offend, nor did I have that intention when I opened my bug report. Considering the multiple issues with Ctrl selection in LO (check See Also bugs), this is clearly not a good legacy. If this indeed requires a lot of effort for low visible reward then I agree with you that it won't merit the effort. That to me is a good valid reason because this bug in itself is not very serious indeed. But when you compound this bug, with the other two related bugs (non-contiguous cell selection in chart creation in Calc, selecting multiple lines/rows in tables in Writer and Impress) then this probably merits someone to look into all these related issues. All the best. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Confirmed NEW in error... to UX-Advise The Draw objects manipulated on Impress or Draw slide/page are different than controls provided to manipulate Draw objects on Writer canvas or in Calc cells. There is no magic wand to wave making + selection function like it does in other applications--it all would have to be developed. IIRC it is down in the guts of VCL and the various edit shells. A whole lot of work to break legacy behavior that is not wrong. I'm not convinced this merits the effort. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
