Hello all,
working in Dorico mouseless: it’s easy to extend a selection with Shift-Arrow, but sometimes I’m too fast and select one or several notes more than I wanted - there is no way to reduce the selection by similar steps, right? Usually I then step out of the selection with Left/Right-Arrow, and begin to reselect the portion I want. I’m asking, because working with text generally allows this (Mac here).
How about Undo (⌘Z)? That’s my favorite emergency-key.
Yes, of course, aware of this - I was just curious if there was something else - thanks!
An alternative is to press Tab which selects the last item of the current selection. Then you can go back with ← and ⇧←
My “Selecting is complicated” lecture from last year …
P.S. Happy Cakeday, Michael!
Great and thoughtful post, Mark!
And yes, I see why the “anchored” selection type (to which I am so much used to) wouldn’t work.
