- MouseShift is a commodity for OS2.0 which allows to use the right mouse
- button as a shift key when doing multiselection. There are other similar
- programs around, but this one has a feature I haven't seen anywhere else.
-
- To multiselect you do the following:
- - Press left button as usual.
- - While still holding down left button, press right button.
- - Keep right button pressed and click on the items you want to multiselect.
- - When done, release right button.
-
- Note that Workbench and many other programs treat the right button as an
- 'undo' key: that is, if you press it while still holding the left button,
- the current operation (which could be rubberbanding some icons, drawing a
- line, and so on) is aborted. Other programs similar to MouseShift lose
- this capability, since right mouse button is used for multiselection; but
- I have managed to provide both features. The only difference is that the
- 'undo' operation is taken when you RELEASE the right button, instead of
- pressing it.
