I was looking for an option to Left-click & drag using a mouse to select multiple files in list-mode of Nautilus and came across this link. Here, they are saying that it won't be possible, but this post was a couple of years old.



Is it still not possible to select multiple files using Left-click & drag? And if it is then how to do it?



I also checked the following links:




  1. List view in Nautilus does not allow dragging a selection by mouse.

  2. allow multiple selections with the mouse (and single click)

Here, I can see that the problem is not resolved yet.

    If it hasn't been implemented in 14 years the odds are extremely slim to none it will ever be.
