Shift & Ctrl click for selection in Outliner
Hi
Really simple one :
Could use shift and ctrl keys for selection the same way we use it on windows and any other software?
At least having it as an option to toggle it in the system pref, that's all we need
Selection in the outliner and file browser is really destabilizing and frustrating for a lot of peoples
Thanks

I also wanted to ask for this, but you've been ahead of me. Therefore, write here what I have to add to this request.
Eg. user have already select by
Shift36 items. But he need to select from 1 to 16 & from 20 to 36. So user can do twiceShiftselect or doShiftfrom start to end + deselect byCtrlon 11 and thenAlt + Shifton 19. Especially this can be handy when it need to manage hundreds of object in scene.Eg.
Border select was good to select some items like this showed in GIF. But in Outliner there is just no need to make " Border " select. Because there nothing to stroke by this border. There just horizontal item rows.
Right now
Shiftmultiple selection good for both small & large amount of items selection. But it still several step action - click on one item + go to second item + hold Shift, point & click on second item. This " Sliding " selection can be very handy in case of small items amount very quick selection. Just move mouse over items to select it and that's all.Click & Hold + Dragon object type icon cause moving this item to link it to other for parenting. But !! Click & drag on item name do nothing. So I think this " Slide " selection can work over names area.Thank you for reading so much text. Maybe I missed something. I would be glad to see some feedback.
How is this still not implemented? Working in the Ouliner is such a PITA. Why are we still forced to use box select to select multiple objects in the Outliner? Ctrl+Click is the established way of selecting multiple objects in file explorers in so many applications, and yet Blender devs refuse to implement it. How come?
And this post is from two years ago! Incredible.
EDIT: Nevermind. It has been implemented! My keymap settings had to be restored.
Could you be more specific? I'm not familiar with how it works on Windows.
@Pablo Vazquez: here you go youtu.be/5Bikl1Nt8_M start at 7m16, really handy.. everyone on windows are doing this constantly
