Selecting files
Most operations act on your selection — either the highlighted item or the set of marked items.
Single selection
Section titled “Single selection”The keyboard, mouse, and controller all move a single highlight through the list. Whatever is highlighted is what an action targets when nothing is marked.
Marking multiple items
Section titled “Marking multiple items”| Action | Keyboard | Controller |
|---|---|---|
| Mark / unmark | Space | RT + A |
| Add to selection | Ctrl/Cmd-click | — |
| Select a range | Shift-click | — |
| Select all | Ctrl+A | RT + X |
| Clear selection | Esc | RT + B |
Once you’ve marked two or more items, file operations — copy, cut, trash, compress, send to, and batch rename — act on the whole marked set.
Marking with the controller
Section titled “Marking with the controller”Selection lives under the RT modifier: hold RT and the on-screen hint bar reveals the selection chords (A to mark, X to select all, B to clear).
