[admin]

Next beta will stop that left of the icon show on CTRL.

Thanks. Please fix it for Clipped Items Tips too.

I don't get that bug here.

With v23.50.0211? Does not happen here.

Got it.

I'm glad we have found and you have fixed a couple of bugs along the way, but I'm still not quite happy with this Ctrl-invert situation.
I've come to realize that all I need is just a script command for CEA Middle-click on line number

Code: Select all

Pops a preview for current item in List
preview(type=HoverBox, [x=-1], [y=-1])

type:
	InfoTip
	HoverBox
	FloatingPreview
	[i]MDBU[/i]
	
x	X position; -1 to use current mouse X.
y	Y position; -1 to use current mouse Y.

Or as separate commands, one of them already exists: FloatingPreview #178
I don't think having such commands would be that exotic. They may also be helpful for the hardcore keyboard users.

All those previews (apart from Floating Preview) are mouse-triggered and depend on the current mouse position. Calling them "from the side" does not work.

Here is another idea. There is a very cool feature we have in XY: Tools | Customize List | Checkbox Selection
The only reason I don't use it is because they're too small and I always miss one of them and end up deselecting all the previous ones. I know there is a setting Sticky checkbox selection, but it ruins the regular selection, unfortunately and I'm too used to it at this point it's too late to re-learn.

Can you make them (or at least their hit-boxes) bigger? Also, a dark version for the dark mode would be nice, and finally, here is the idea

PS Not having to use Ctrl neither for the multi-select nor for the hover box would be a double win.

I know there is a setting Sticky checkbox selection, but ....

Configuration | Colors and Styles | Styles | [x] Sticky checkbox selection
It's also partially broken, the documentations says (even emphasizes with a bold font) the only way to unselect is to click the checkbox, but the lasso select does that easily.
--------------------------------
Same with the regular Sticky selection (Tools | Customize List). It makes no sense to me that the lasso selection deselects all the items, though maybe it's not a bug but a bad design instead, I've found this in the documentation:

Tip: To unselect all items using the mouse start a drag-select (hold mouse button down and drag a
bit)

The way is should work with the lasso IMO is how it works with everything else:

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

--------------------------------
And one more thing, deselecting with Shift doesn't work properly with Sticky selection (seems like since ~v23.20.0109, it has something to do with the pivot)

I fixed the help at Sticky checkbox selection. The rest is too minor for now.

[Evolve]

Well then can you add one more minor bug that will really help me (literally no one else will care anyway)?

I need Ctrl with one of these two combinations of settings to show nothing on file name. Currently they both produce the same output (Info Tip).
