I have a tablet PC and I am occasionally use it with eclipse while on
the go. One things that turned out to be very tedious, is that some
eclipse views, notably those that use a tree view (e.g. Navigator,
Package Explorer, ...) do not allow to select multiple items using a
"rubber band selection", i.e. selecting multiple items by drawing a
frame around them. Selecting multiple items using Shift and Control keys
is extremely complicated and almost unusable with a pen only. I recently
wanted to reorganize a project and the lacking possibility to select
more than a single file at a time made me give up (or rather delay it
until I was back at my desktop with a full keyboard)... :-(
Is there a way to enable rubber band selections in eclipse (or maybe
SWT)? It would be really cool, if eclipse could provide such an option!
Or some alternative mean that allows to conveniently select multiple
items in a list or tree view, e.g. like the leading tiny checkboxes that
Vista's Explorer offers (under Tools => Folder Options => Views => "use
checkboxes to select items"). That's ideal for pen only operation!
