I also am looking for a less fragile keyboard-driven selection, as can be done
in Double Commander.
The key here is that we need a new additional type of selection, "mark."
I'll call the current type of selection, whose behavior need not change,
"soft-select."
- KEY1 (e.g. INS or SPACE, needs entry in kb shortcuts) toggles mark of
currently soft-selected item
- Toggle option: KEY1 also moves soft-select to next single item
- Toggle option: shift+cursor-key toggles mark of currently soft-selected item
and soft-selects "next" (directional) single item
- Need kb shortcut and menu item to unmark all (in current pane)
Then there are questions about which group of files to perform a requested
action on when there are both soft-selected items and marked items.
I would say cursor dragging operations, as now, ought to continue operating
only on soft-selected items.
I know when I'm moving and copying between panes with keyboard shortcuts, if
I've got marked items, that's what I'm trying to operate on.
I can't tell right now if supporting both select styles simultaneously like
this is wise, or rather it should be a one-or-the-other choice.
I'd love to hear from any devs that have been thinking about this kind of
feature!
