Selecting contiguous and non-contiguous elements in Outline View

Hi!
Currently, one can only select individual items in the Outline View. They can be cut, copied, pasted, moved around etc. What is not possible is to select more than one item. I find it would be very useful if one could select both contiguous and non-contiguous items using platform-specific shortcuts, so that one could perform the same action (cut, copy etc.) on more than one item at the same time.
Would you consider adding this to your feature request tracker?
All best,
Toma

Hi Toma,

We have this feature you are requesting when editing XML files in the Author visual editing mode with Oxygen XML desktop.
Indeed we do not have the feature when editing XML files in the Text editing mode. Can you confirm you want this feature for the Text editing mode as well?

Regards,
Radu

Indeed, I was thinking about the Text Mode. Thanks, Radu!

Hi Toma,
The internal ID of the newly added issue is:
EXM-54654 Allow selecting multiple intervals in the Text editing mode
But this is not high priority for us.

Radu
