Description

this is a behaviour that i got used to back in time while using windows and its file browser the explorer. Not everyone might have discovered it but i did and used it extensively when dealing with large number of files.

expected behaviour:

• shift+click to select a range of files
• ctrl+click to add files to selection one by one
• ctrl+shift+click to add a range of files to the selection. range starts from the last selected file to the clicked one. it can also deselect a range in case they are selected, just like what ctrl+click does with a single file

Thunar behaviour

• shift+click: OK
• ctrl+click: OK
• ctrl+shift+click: works like ctrl+click, affects single files.

I dont know if this can be filed as a bug but i think Thunar must be compatible with general behaviour that people are used to. therfore i chose to submit it as a bug.
