In at least Leopard,

I was surprised to discover that command-clicking NSTableView columns does not appear to function as per the standard interface guidelines (discontinuous selection):

"A Command-click should result in a discontinuous selection. With discontinuous selection, in which the user can extend a selection by adding nonadjacent objects to already selected objects, the objects between the current selection and the new object are not included in the selection."

-- but shift-clicking does function as expected (contiguous multiple selection). So one can select multiple table columns only if they are adjacent (via shift-click) -- discontinuous table column selection is not allowed.

In all cases command-click appears to operate as an unmodified click.

1) Is there a trick to enabling column command-clicking in NSTableView/ NSOutlineView (other than adding my own column-header click handler)?

2) Is this a bug, or an intentional (mis)behavior?

3) Any easy workaround suggestions?
