--- Comment #30 from johnks <testing1237a-c at yahoo.com> ---
i want to add my 2 cents here. 
I consider myself 'fairly' proficient in office suites and been using LO for so
many years, probably since '08 so yeah anyways, today i had to make a quick
presentation and suddenly i was unable to select multiple objects.

i tried the mouse, tried to ctrl-click but nothing worked. was on 6.4.2.2 and
immediately updated to 6.4.5.2 but same thing. 

came here to add a bug report and i see this thread and found out, to my
surprise that LO allows that functionality but over "shift-click'.

I would say, ever since i have been working with GUI, be it ms office or
browsers or any other software, ctrl-click is the "status quo". it has nothing
to do with microsoft. its just what people are used to.

my question. as a new LO user coming from say ms office, how do i know
shift-click selects multiple objects as opposed to what my muscle memory does
because as a more than casual user, my muscle memory failed and that is not
productive

I see firefox allows both ctrl-click, shift-click  but thats another story.
