select files that are not contiguous
How can I select several files in the folder if they are not contiguous? Let's say i want to select several, but not all files, that are not listed in a row? In Windows I use CTRL key. Any way to do this in Mac? I cannot always use the mouse, it's not fast and it's very inefficient: sometimes I happen to press mouse button a little too hard and then that file will open instead of getting selected, and the entire job gets stalled.
