Multi-selecting in dropdown list
« on: June 06, 2008, 06:02 AM »
I'd love to be able to select more than one program/item in the list. Your general ctrl/shift click multi-select. This would be especially helpful for ignoring several items that show up for a given phrase/keyword. Things that I'd never want to launch or go to. It would also be good for launching multiple programs, if that can be worked out.

Excellent idea.

I'm not sure how much I would use it for multiple programs but it would be great for multiple bookmarks or things like web searches.

I will see if i can add some special multi-select mode.

Control+Alt+Enter launches all results.  Especially useful for web searches.
