Use Command-select and drag-select together
Authored by: Frungi on Oct 08, '05 06:34:28PM

Cmd-drag actually *toggles* selections, i.e. if it's selected it'll be deselected and vice-versa. If you're really bored, try this: cmd-click every other item so the selection alternates, then cmd-drag through it to reverse the selections.

Specific Command-drag selection behavior
Authored by: MJCube on Oct 11, '05 06:51:48AM

Yes, but it's important to note that you must start the drag on a blank space other than an icon or filename, otherwise you toggle only individual items. And even then, as ChaChi notes above, in Tiger this drag-toggle works only if you start on an unselected item. When you start a Command-drag on a selected item, you deselect it and begin moving it. This is the recent change in behavior we're trying to elucidate and complain about.
