The same goes for shift-click to do multiple selection.
That’s been around since at least MacDraw in the early eighties. Doesn’t
MLCad even behave the same way?

No. In Windows this is Control-Click (or Command-Click in the Mac world).
Shift-Click also has a multiple selection behavior but in a different way.

You got me so curious I found a Windows machine and investigated PowerPoint
2003. At the least it is widely known; tragically, it’s even probably the #1
drawing program on Windows. Both shift and control are used to select
multiple discontiguous graphic elements. But Control also doubles as the
“make a copy when I drag” key (equivalent to Option on the Mac), so using it
for multiple selection runs the risk of messing up your document if you
accidentally move the mouse while clicking. In any event, shift for
multiple-select is found on Windows.

LOL you’re basing your Windoze “standards” off a Micro$oft program???? And here
I thought you were bright.
Interesting that PP2003 doesn’t behave like PP2000 LOL. Anyway, the “standard”
behaviour for mutiple selection is - shift-click usually selects multiple
contiguous items, ctrl-click for non-contiguous ones. Of course sometimes
defining “contiguous” can be tricky (as with the case of graphic elements in
PP), often in such cases shift-click behaves the same as ctrl-click.
