Selecting files by mouse

[blazkowitz]

Hello all,

is it possible to select files in TC by mouse as Explorer does? Just by holding mouse button and dragging a rectangle over files.
I can't find how to enable this function in TC settings.

Thanx.

- Select he first file with a mouse
- Press SHIFT key
- Select the last file with a mouse

Not enough?

Configuration -> Operation -> Mouse selection mode -> Left mouse button (Windows Standard)

left mouse button selection mode doesn't work "by holding mouse button and dragging a rectangle over files".

Thank you very much. But it isn't working for me. I still don't have a rectangle to select files...

Total Commander uses a standard Windows Listbox, which doesn't support selection with a rectangle. Only the ListView supports this, but unfortunately the ListView doesn't exist on all Windows platforms, and it's much slower than the Listbox.

Therefore TC supports selection with the right mouse button: Just click and drag over the files which you want to select, but with the RIGHT mouse button. To get the context menu, hold down the right mouse button a bit longer.
