[REQ] Selecting files with SHIFT + RIGHT/LEFT ARROW

This's a very simple request and I cannot see why it couldn't be implemented in TC7 : at least the choice to select files with SHIFT + RIGHT or LEFT ARROW.

Moreover in TC6.55 when selecting with SHIFT + UP or DOWN ARROW the cursor goes one step up or down the selection. That doesn't affect the functionality but I find it a little bit confusing. In most applications the cursor remains attached to the last element of the selection.

Thanks for the attention.

SHIFT + RIGHT or LEFT ARROW is already appointed to go to the command line when you are in Brief View or Thumbnail View.

Yes, indeed. But in Brief View I'd like to be able to select files using SHIFT + LEFT or RIGHT ARROW. I don't use the command line so often and so I'd like to select files in the left and right direction.

Is it impossible?

Thanks.
