shift / ctrl clicking

[seiyria]

Is this a feature that could be added to ui-sortable, or should it just be added on top as a separate component?

[thgreasi]

I think this is a duplicate of #167 (found using search). In there I provided a proof of concept repo allowing multi-item sorting.
Please use with caution! I never created test cases since the feedback/discussion didn't continue.
It would be nice to have some feedback or any help.

Tl;Dr; jquery UI does not provide something like that. It should be a directive.

[seiyria]

Yeah, alright. That's how I did it with knockout - I was wondering if I should do the same here. I'm a little new to making these things into directives but I'll do what I can. Thanks for getting back to me!

Hi. I've just inserted this into my project and meanwhile its working just fine.
Have anyone got into some issues? Edge cases ?
Thanks.

You have shift/ctrl selection working fine?

[thgreasi]

Why not? Are the two example in README not working for you?

[seiyria]

Sorry @thgreasi - I haven't been keeping up with the repo. Which two examples? Is one of them shift/ctrl across connected lists?

[vadimtar]

The multi select and drag is working fine for me. If anyone has come into issues please let me know.

[thgreasi]

I was referring to this README.

[seiyria]

Oh, great! Thanks! It looks fine, I will try it out soon.

Will this extension still be considered for the main project?

[thgreasi]

In it's current state, I would prefer having ui-sortable to be just a jquery-ui-sortable wrapper and as slim as possible.
This way the main branch code can be more maintainable but it will also have to expose enough hooks to provide more complex interactions.

Merging the multi-selection interaction, would also need lots of extra test, that I have yet to write for ui-sortable-multiselection.
Maybe at a later time, if some refactoring to the multi-selection code is done so that it looks similar to the code in the main branch.
