My friend negotiated it for the Android version for TC, but I wish it would get implemented in the Windows version too.
Why such a pointless function?
There are people who use TC who are blind. Actually, TC is very popular among us. The problem with it is that there is not a good way to see if a given file is selected or not, atleast not with all screenreaders. Putting a star sign before a file which is selected would make stuff easy and nice for everybody. Of course this star sign musn't clash with the letter navigation.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have checked with Inspect32, the selected files have a flag "selected" set. Therefore I thought that it wasn't necessary to add a *. How does your screen reader handle selected items in other programs?

I just wanted to add this and noticed that it's already there - you can even choose yourself what should be returned (up to 7 characters).
wincmd.ini
SelectionMarker=*
If you want a space after the *, you need to write it in double quotes:
SelectionMarker="* "
