I knew there was something like that... Windows doesn't mind if you use ctrl all the time - i.e. in combination with shift + click. I just forgot to remember that I can forget to use ctrl sometimes... only pvd minds... weird topic...

Yes, and it should be of no surprise trying to remember such things will cause other things to "fall out."  ;D

You must have a tired old brain like mine. I can still learn new things. But then learning anything newer than the new thing can be a problem. :-\

The program follows the Windows standard for selection. Shift-Click to select a range, and Ctrl-Click to select individual items not in sequence.

In theory, Windows has also combinations of Ctrl+shift+click ...

click to select the first item
shift+click to select a range from the first item to another item

ctrl+click to select another "first" item (out of the range)
ctrl+shift+click to select another range (outside of the first range)

when you start using ctrl+click to deselect an element in a selected range and/or start ctrl+shift+clicking after that, you can get even more combinations of effects which are difficult/lengthy to explain but sometimes worth to try out :-)

Thanks...

kinda stupid. You're never too old to learn something new about Windows. Can you imagine how many superfluous ctrl strokes I did in my life...? Now I have to blush.

Hi again

Am I right to assume that CTRL+Shift doesn't allow me row select (click first item - then ctrl + shift + click last item = everything in between is selected)? Did I switch it of or is there an alternative? I didn't block that keys with another hotkey action...
