[ SOLVED ] Settings for selection using shift or ctrl with arrows and mouse gestures

[Dragoljub]

Probably I enabled this when installing Linux (I was trying what it can do). It was troubling me until now.

Good to read you have solved it

Hello,

I solved it by disabling sticky keys it was simple but I did not try it earlier.

Hello,

It is the same with right or left ctrl, and it does not detach it when clicking on other sliders or outside the window. It remains attached even after releasing ctrl (this is happening from when I started to use LL, but now I was thinking that it could be changed, usually to cancel it, I use Esc twice). Settings for mouse and touchpad are the same, I will try to reset it to default. Maybe someone will advise how to change these settings.

Hello,

my mouse will also zoom the files image size but only if I do not release the ctrl button. eg; scrolling and holding down ctrl.

Try this to detach ctrl key -

hold crtl , left click files, release ctrl, left click on the window slider on right, then scroll. This does not pulse the selected files so may detach ctrl.

Also I notice this -
After select files if I x1 left click on grey area above white window, level with the menus, then the selected files do pulse, it goes darker and brighter, it does not remove selection, and it can still scroll and select more.
Maybe this will detach the ctrl function and allow scrolling as there is some interaction with the files and mouse by doing it ?

If trying this and you click too high, above the inline with menus, then the selected files it will not pulse, just select one and check it first.

Also you can try in the grey area, using right clicks, and also using wheel clicks, if your wheel is also 3rd button functionality, mine is.

Also have you tried the opposite ctrl key ?
I am using the left ctrl key, are you using the left ?

Menu>Settings>Mouse and touchpad> I have it set to "enable this device", "right handed", "acceleration 9.4", "sensitivity 4px"
behaviour tab, I don't think I edited it, drag and drop threshold 8px, double click time 400ms, distance 5px.
I am using a mouse theme "OpenZone Ice Slim"

It may be worth looking at the device drop down menu to see if the correct mouse is selected.

Hello,
It is not working, after releasing ctrl button, it is connected with central scroll button in a way that it is zooming files, and not letting me scroll down in folder.

Hello Dragoljub,

hold ctrl key, click x1 left mouse button on each file to select, release ctrl key when all wanted file selections are made, do not click mouse in the window.
You can now scroll mouse using centre wheel.

If you wanted to scroll and select more files, then after scrolling, again press and hold ctrl key and x1 left click on each file to add to previous selections from above.

That is not to scroll whilst holding down ctrl key, it will resize all folders and files up/down dependent on forward /backward scrolling etc.

How can be set (if it is possible), when selecting several files in folders, or several cells in Calc files with shift or ctrl and keyboard arrows or with mouse gesture, that after this selection, it is not connected to mouse wheel, that mouse wheel can scroll without zooming or performing any other action?
At present setting, when files or cells are selected using ctrl plus arrows, after doing this selection, mouse wheel can not be used for scrolling, but must be cancelled with escape. How can be set that scrolling mouse button is not connected with anything else?
