In at least Leopard,
I was surprised to discover that command-clicking NSTableView columns
does not appear to function as per the standard interface guidelines
(discontinuous selection):
"A Command-click should result in a discontinuous selection. With
discontinuous selection, in which the user can extend a selection by
adding nonadjacent objects to already selected objects, the objects
between the current selection and the new object are not included in
the selection."
-- but shift-clicking does function as expected (contiguous multiple
selection). So one can select multiple table columns only if they are
adjacent (via shift-click) -- discontinuous table column selection is
not allowed.
In all cases command-click appears to operate as an unmodified click.
1) Is there a trick to enabling column command-clicking in NSTableView/
NSOutlineView (other than adding my own column-header click handler)?
2) Is this a bug, or an intentional (mis)behavior?
3) Any easy workaround suggestions?
