Implementing good keyboard controls is pretty difficult and you're
tackling one the toughest interactions in GUIs today. Good luck and post
when you've got something to play with. If you find it useful, about 25
folks got together to try and come up with best practices for keyboard
controls on
HI Martin,
I think your approach of having a separate command if you want to move
all noncontinguous items together makes sense.

Well, I expect most people will be moving continuous selections. Non-
continuous selections are a special case really. I think in terms of
simplifying things it would be better to move the grouping into
another interaction as opposed to putting 2 interactions into one
command. There could be
So it depends on what you expect most folks will be doing. I'm assuming
that most folks will pick a disparate set of rows to take some action as
a whole. In the case of moving, I would think it's to group them
together in some other spot in the list, not to re-interleave them up
higher. Of cour
Possibly, but that could cause more confusion. In your example, rows
7, 12, 22, 30, 42 and 56, if moved up one would then become rows
6,7,8,9,10 and 11. That makes send for drag & drop as you are plucking
them out and then inserting them into a specific place but for moving
up/down a row at
Makes sense. So if I have four rows with A B C and D. I select rows B
and D and then hit shift option up I would now have rows B A D and C.
Hitting up again gives B D A and C. Is this what users would expect?
Normally I would think folks would be trying to cherry pick rows they
care about and d
Hi Chris,
All rows get nudged up one space. When you reach the top or bottom of
a table then they get nudged together. For example, if you have rows 2
and 4 selected and hit shift-option-up then the they will move up to
be rows 1 and 3. Then if you hit shift-option-up again row 1 won't

What happens if I have multiple discontiguous rows selected and I option
up arrow? Do all the rows get inserted one row above where the top
selected row used to be? Probably the worst case scenario for complexity
but something to consider.

Hi Martin,
I just bought a Mac and joined this list, and I'm so excited to get a
question like this from a software developer. How wonderful to be
asked what would work. I think using Option and the Up and Down arrow
keys is a great idea!
Best,
Anna

Yes, that will work just fine.
