I've just updated to latest trunk, still the same issue. I do agree that the current behavior when holding shift and selecting up/down is not as most users will expect, but my patch suggestion doesn't change that, it just makes it possible to unselect after every item in the list has been selected.

I'd be happy to take a shot at creating a suggestion for a better overall selection/navigation strategy if you'd like, more in the lines of Windows Explorer functionality, but this patch will atleast solve the immediate problem. What's the ticket for the long term solution, I'd love to take a look?

Hi all,
I've just do some fixes in the same classes (not only Greg does :-) ),
so in the JIRA ticket (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-744 ) you can find an
updated patch, and some new comments ... particularly in the usability
field.
Note that even Tables and Trees should have the same behavior ...

Can you try to update Pivot sources from the trunk and retry ?
So you can even try to execute (under tests)
multiple_selection_list.bxml , multiple_selection_table.bxml ,
multiple_selection_tree.bxml

What do you think (post here and/or in the issue, thanks) ?


For a long-term (and of course more complete) solution of selection
and navigation with keystrokes we have a ticket (and related
discussions, but some things are still to see if/how to do), but for
the 2.1 release ... it's a field where I and Chris have much interers
... and any comment is welcome.


Thanks to all,
Sandro
