You have been subscribed to a public bug: Ctrl doesn't perform it's expected role of allowing multiple file selection to occur when used in conjunction with the shift key.
For example, when selecting files A, B, C, D, E: If I select files A thru C using: click A, shift+click C, continuing to hold ctrl+click E should allow me to select the rest of the files, however this is not the case. Rather it will only select E, so that A, B, C, E are selected in total. More self-experimentation will show that selection with ctrl+shift result illogical file selection. This is a standard feature in almost every OS I have run across, and I'm not sure if it's just not implemented or if there are key conflicts that cause this not to occur, but a default install of ubuntu should have this enabled. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: and file folder gnome multiple nautilus select -- ctrl doesn't work when used in conjunction with shift click for multiple file selection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252817 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
