Re: [newbie] Konquerer basic question...
In Konqueror, as in other file managers, selecting multiple files, requires that you hold down the CTRL or Control key before selecting the first file, and holding it down until you've finished selecting files. Changing your mouse behavior so that it requires a double-click will also accomplish the same thing, but you'll lose single-click features.

I find it most convenient to right-click the first file of the group I want, then I can ctrl-click or shift-click, depending on whether the group is consecutive or not. It works for me.
