    + Menu View | List Style: Added option "Sticky Selection". This is a 
      selection style known from many apps with multiple selection lists.
      The effect is pretty much identical to holding the CTRL key while 
      you click on an item or hit the space key on the focused item: 
      The previous selections are not touched and the current item's 
      selection state toggles. Also clicking on the white space will not 
      unselect the selected items.
      Sticky Selection is obviously very practical when you work on long 
      lists and want to pick out particular items manually: You won't 
      easily lose your work by the slip of a finger.
      Tip: To unselect all items using the mouse start a drag-select 
      (hold mouse button down and drag a bit), or use Deselect All 
      (Ctrl+Shift+A).
      Note that you won't have the "Rename On Slow Double-Click" 
      functionality when "Sticky Selection" is active.
      Note that obviously "Sticky Selection" will only come to effect 
      when "Multiple Select" is on (which no known user ever turned 
      off).

Very nice. And just because that option is found under List Style, I'd suggest adding all those options to the button's context menu?

Does it really make sense for this to be a list style and not just a global mode and thus in the Edit->Selection... section?

Personally, I don't think I'd ever want that tied to the FVS. I see myself more likely turning it on, selecting files, and then turning it off, but not something I'd want automatically enabled for certain paths.

Probably. However right now a click on a blank/empty area on List (with Sticky Selection) does not deselect, so starting to draw a rectangle selection seems to be the only way (by mouse, and except for using menus of course) to unselect/drop the current selection. I'm not sure if this is the expected behavior or not ?

I would say that I'd expect Sticky to pretty much prevent me from holding Ctrl, but behave the same. So a single click on a blank area should unselect, while drawing a rectangle should not and also be part of the "sticky selecting" process.
