This was discussed in a previous message somewhere buried inside the list. Lasso and ctrl/shift-click are not good gestures for selection when single-click is the default mode, for several reasons: - they are not discoverable, - they are too complicated for selecting one single file (arguably the more common action in Nautilus), - and they don't work on touch-screens. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
