@EvilDragon: Thanks for your donation. I've topped up your votes.

I voted, thank you!

Sadly I voted before donating, so it counts as one vote, welp :(

I have added these requests to the tracker:

• Issue 2349 – Optionally select files on right-click
  
• Issue 2350 – Deselect files on Shift+arrows
  

You can vote for them there.

Oh, and of course, Shift+Up/Down being able to deselect as well as select would make me right at home!

Here's another Total Commander user, who is very much missing being able to right-drag select/unselect files as in TC... Explorer style left mouse selection feels a bit unnatural after two decades of using TC (and Reaper DAW, which also uses right drag for marquee selection).

Can this option please be added? Thank you!

Thanks for your suggestion. I'll see if more people ask for this.

I have been a long time user of Total Commander software and the one setting that I am used to is the ability for the right click button to be able select and deselect files. A long hold of the right click button (2–4 seconds) brings up the right click menu for the selection. I noticed you have the ability to turn off the NC selection mode and enable explorer type selection. What I find the NC selection mode lacks, is the ability to use the keyboard and Shift+PgUp and Down to deselect files. It works for selecting files, but then I find that the deselection of files has to be done individually with the Space. Adding the deselect with Shift+PgUp and Down and Shift+Home and End, as well as the ability to deselect files by using the right click button would be a great addition to already great software.
