[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1017256, member: 56231"] Shift-L click allows you to select multiple icons, one after the other, to move, delete etc. That is, in your terminology, "in icon mode". Mac refers to it as Desktop or Finder. We need to differentiate between Desktop/Finder, and Window modes. In an open window eg. the Games folder, and with icons/folders in list mode, if you Shift-click on the top item, and then on the bottom one, all files within the window will be selected. Another way is to L-click/hold and drag (diagonally) across all the icons you wish to select. [size=1]For some reason I don't understand, that doesn't always work within a window, and you need to use the Shift-click method.[/size] [B]Command-A[/B] will select ALL icons in ANY location in ANY mode. To copy a selected file to another location, eg. folder, without moving the original, [B]Option[/B] (hold)-L-click (hold) and drag. [B]Command-D[/B] will duplicate a selected file, which you can then move to wherever you want. Incidentally, and so contributors can help you better, always give your OS version, since not all MacOS were created equal! :) In fact, it's a good idea to list your Mac Specs, including OS, in your 'bestofboth' identity.

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
