Really picky multi-select keynav request
Last modified: 2014-08-03 19:03:55 UTC
Keynav in treeview is looking really good now, but here's one really picky thing that would be nice to fix (which wasn't explicitly mentioned in the keynav proposal): If I Ctrl-select some rows, then Ctrl-Shift-select another row, everything between the row I just clicked and the previous row I clicked (the "anchor point", as Windows would call it) should be added to the selection, not only the row I just clicked (which is what currently happens). E.g. if I Ctrl-select rows 1,3,5, then Shift-Ctrl-select row 8, then I should end up with rows 1,3,5,6,7,8 selected. Even further refinement: if I then *immediately* Shift-Ctrl-Select a different row, then the previous Shift-Ctrl-Selection should be ignored, and the new selection (between the anchor point and the row I just newly Shift-Ctrl-selected) added instead. E.g. starting from the last state described above (rows 1,3,5-8 selected, anchor point=row 5), then Shift-Ctrl-selecting row 2, I should end up with rows 1,2,3,4,5 selected. It's easier to demonstrate this than describe it, just play with a Windows multi-selection list if you can, as it's the standard behaviour for those. Or read the description in the Windows UI Styleguide, which probably describes it better than me :)
This is really hard for a fairly small user interface improvement. It's also really hard -- I'm not sure how well this would interact with mouse presses/model changes. It can go in the 2.0.x series, but I don't think I have time to implement this.
Move open bugs from milestones 2.0.[012] -- > 2.0.3, since 2.0.2 is already out.
Reassigning bugs to new component owner. Sorry for the flood.
Moving some 2.0.4 bugs to 2.0.7
Moving bugs from older 2.0.x milestones to 2.0.10.
Might be worth looking into for 2.4.
Apologies for spam... marking as GNOMEVER2.3 so it appears on the official GNOME bug list :)

Upping the priority a bit, now that we have a duplicate.
Mass changing gtk+ bugs with target milestone of 2.4.2 to target 2.4.4, as Matthias said he was trying to do himself on IRC and was asking for help with. If you see this message, it means I was successful at fixing the borken-ness in bugzilla :) Sorry for the spam; just query on this message and delete all emails you get with this message, since there will probably be a lot.

This may be a duplicate of bug 551375 , where multiple range selection is requested for consistency with the icon view of nautilus.
