True. And Photos does still select all items between when shift-clicking. If you really wanted it, it seems like it would be relatively simple to track the last item selected, and if shift is down in collectionView:didSelectItemsAtIndexPaths: then add all items between to the selection. Is there something I’m missing that makes that unworkable? I’m not sure why I didn’t try that before, but since nobody missed shift-selecting I never revisited it.
