List controls

The application makes frequent use of lists, some of which are editable grid controls. Within a list, rows can be selected either via the mouse, or via the keyboard.

Selecting rows via mouse

• To select a single row, left-click it.
• To select a range of adjacent rows, left-click the range's first row, press and hold down the Shift key, left-click the range's last row, and then release the Shift key. If the range is large, you may need to scroll the list in between selecting its first and last rows.
• To add or remove a row to or from an existing selection, left-click the row while pressing the Ctrl key.
• To deselect all rows, left-click below the last row, or to the right of the last column.

Selecting rows via keyboard

You can also select list rows via the keyboard, using the up/down arrow keys, possibly in combination with other keys.

• To select a single row, repeatedly press (or press and hold) the up or down arrow key until the desired row is selected. Doing so navigates through the list by moving the single selection from row to row, scrolling the list if necessary. You can also use the Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End keys to navigate through the list more rapidly.
• To select a range of adjacent rows, do the same as for a single row, but while pressing the Shift key.
• To add or remove a row to or from an existing selection, first navigate to the desired row as described above, but while pressing the Ctrl key. This moves the list selection mark (usually a dotted rectangular outline) without disrupting the existing selection. When the selection mark is on the desired item, press Ctrl+Alt+Space to toggle the item's selection state. The Alt key is necessary because Ctrl+Space is reserved for the Play command.

List columns

You can change the width of list columns by using the mouse. To change the width of a column, drag the boundary on the right side of the column heading until the column is the width that you want. To auto-size a column so that it's the same width as its widest visible item, double-click the boundary on the right side of the column heading.

A list may allow its columns to be reordered. To move a column, left-click the column heading and drag it to where you want it. Not all lists support this feature.

A list may support restoring its columns to their original state. To reset the columns to their default width and order, right-click in the column header and select Reset in the context menu. Not all lists support this feature.
