In Windows, when I want to select several non-consecutive items in a list, I hold the ctrl key and click the items I want. If I want a range of consecutive items, I hold the ctrl AND shift key and click on the first and the last item and windows highlights everything in between.
On the Mac, I hold the command key (clover thing) and click to select non-consecutive items, but is there anything equivalent to the Ctrl-shift (to select a lot of consecutive things with individually clicking each one)?
Thanks.
Amaya defines two kinds of keyboard shortcuts for Mac OS X: shortcuts using standard Apple modifier keys (ex. Cmd+C to copy the selection) and shortcuts using sequences (ex. Ctrl-t Ctrl-t to create a table). As Mac OS X users are not familiar with shortcut sequences in menu entries, only standard shortcuts are shown by default. 30 keyboard shortcuts Mac users need to know This collection of keyboard shortcuts for macOS can help users get the most from their iMacs, MacBook Pro and MacBook laptops. The first Mac keyboards didn't have a control key. Mac Plus keyboards didn't have a control key, either. I'd have to look it up, but I don't think an actual control key appeared until the ADB keyboards arrived. I definitely have a control key on an Apple Extended Keyboard II (which is still in regular use, via an ADB-to-USB adapter).
