I would like keep this posting organized, so if anyone has any corrections or additions, could
you please email me (zootbobbalu@yahoo.com).

[Editor's note: All of these have appeared in one form or another here, but it's sort of nice having them in one consolidated tip]

Read the rest of the posting for a fairly comprehensive list of shortcuts...

Finder Window:

To select a group of files that appear together in a list view:

  1. Click on first file of group
  2. Shift + Click on last file of group
To select a group of files that do not appear together in a list view:
  1. Command + Click on any file that you want to select/deselect into or out of a group
  2. Repeat Step 1 to add/remove any file to or from the group
  3. Command + Drag selects/deselects items the mouse arrow moves over
    Note: Holding the Command key down forces all items to freeze so that items can only be selected/deselected with the mouse and not moved around.
