Description _ tboudreau 2006-06-05 05:20:52 UTC 
On Macintosh, Ctrl-Click is the gesture used to invoke a popup menu.  In Matisse, both Ctrl-Click *and* 
Command-Click will bring up the popup menu.  Command-Click should be used for multiple selection 
(which seems to work via Shift, but that's quite non-intuitive for a mac user).

Although "shift + Click" also gets multiple items selected, NetBeans also supports "ctrl + click" also for this task on other platforms.
I believe, as described on the bug, the equivalent "command + click" should be adjusted to have multiple items selected rather than bringing the context menu for the item.
