Description Brandon Lewis 2009-06-29 23:49:47 UTC 
Ctrl + Click should deslect a selected clip, instead it does nothing.
Comment 1 Alessandro Decina 2009-06-30 10:53:07 UTC 
why ctrl and not have shift + click toggle the selection? This is how inkscape works
Comment 2 Alessandro Decina 2009-06-30 11:09:01 UTC 
For some reason ctrl + click emulates button3 for me so i can't test this
Comment 3 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2009-07-26 21:29:31 UTC 
+1 on using ctrl+click, this is how every application I've seen (excluding inkscape, which is the one that breaks the convention) does it (best example: nautilus, the file chooser, etc.).

The HIG also has a section on this: http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/input-mouse.html.en#selection
Comment 4 Edward Hervey 2009-07-27 10:04:13 UTC 
What are we currently using CTRL+click for currently ? We should definitely have this fixed for the upcoming release.
Comment 5 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2009-07-27 13:18:01 UTC 
The only use that I know of currently is roll editing, but that's a ctrl+click-drag operation that happens only when using the trimming handles (if I understand correctly, roll edits don't make sense when not trimming)
Comment 6 Brandon Lewis 2009-08-04 00:12:14 UTC 
Seems to have been fixed, closing this bug. Note, however, that the current behavior is not HIG compliant, so perhaps a new bug should be opened (and fixed after the feature freeze). In particular shift + click should select a horizontal range of clips and ctrl+click should toggle the selected state of timeline objects.
