#47 Multiple selection difficulty
When selecting multiple noncontiguous items in MacOSX, I must select them with a Ctrl-click. But that also brings up the context menu. I can successfully select the items, but it's a real pain for that menu to constantly pop up. I have the feeling that this may be unresolvable, as Java implements multiple mouse buttons under Macs as chord clicks, but you might want to take a look at it if it has changed.

I don't know the Mac UI all that well, so can you tell me
how this _should_ work? It looks like Ctrl-Click _is_ the
popup menu ... How does multiple select, then, work in
other Mac UI's? If I can fix this and make it work
consistently with the PC, I'll do it...

Command-click selects multiple disparate items. Shift-click selects multiple concurrent items. Command is the button with the Apple and cloverleaf on it.
