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.

lol--listening to “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell”--
http://www.npr.org/programs/waitwait/
one of the very funniest shows anywhere-- and lo and behold they reported a
survey of 7500 mac an pc users and concluded that mac users were arrogant, felt
superior in every way, and were much more jerks than pc users. mac users were
referred to iJerks after the survey.
don’t shoot the messenger--I own both.
I am just reporting what “scientific valid” survey concludes about mac and pc
users.
