hi,

Since i'm quite new to lmms development i have a question about how the
selection is handled in the song editor.
(This in relation to my other question about the new merge functionality,
since this will need a selection mode too)

Was there ever a discussion if we really need a special button for selecting
segments?

In theory we could handle this like most file managers handle selection of
files.
One exception: just clicking in empty space creates a new segment, which a
file manager wouldn't do.

So my proposal:
- using shift+lmb and starting to drag in empty area would do rubberband
selection (as now is done by pressing the selection mode button)
- using shift+lmb on a segment would add or remove this segments to/from an
existing set of selected segments

I tried using shif+lmb and it doesn't seem to have a functionality applied
now. The program is reacting 'somehow' by changing the mouse pointer. under
some conditions it seems to select single segments. But overall this looks
broken (or I do it wrong)

Could be done with ctrl instead of shift of course, or maybe even alt key.

greetings
rymr
