Build 20011112 In the Navigator or Packages view, Shift+Up Arrow and Shift+Down Arrow do not extend the selection. You can select multiple items with the mouse (using SHIFT+Click), but not the keyboard. Should also check TableTree. This is an accessibility issue if it prevents access to functions which can be done with the mouse. For example, comparing two items requires that two items be selected.
Also, in a Table, you can use Ctrl+Up/Down then Space to select multiple disjoint items. Should consider this for Tree and TableTree as well (e.g. for Compare case). Currently Ctrl+Up/Down scroll without changing the selection.
Bumped up priority since accessibility is a P1 goal for 2.0. See also bug 4843.
Add my vote for this functionality. Without keyboard multiselect support in the Navigator or Packages view a user cannot invoke VCM operations such as Synchronize.
Is synchronize simply not available, or is it just inconvenient to have to apply it multiple times? If the former, then this is a higher priority request because to meet IBM accessibility guidelines, we have to ensure that all functionality is accessible. If it's just inconvenient, that's less of a problem (still a concern, but more of a usability issue).
