Selecting/Deselecting multiple thoughts #94968

https://thebrain.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/94968

Hello again,

Thank you for following up and for providing the video recording—it truly is worth more than a thousand words in helping us understand the situation!

In our testing, spanning multiple versions of TheBrain since version 8, it hasn’t been possible to select or deselect individual links by using CTRL + Left mouse click directly on a link. However, if ever you still wish to see this feature in future updates, you can visit our feature request portal at https://thebrain.uservoice.com to formally submit your request for further consideration. I would recommend that you search the existing UserVoice inventory first to see if the request has already been made, and add your tally to the existing request. Requests with higher numbers hold more value.

Our team reviews the UserVoice site regularly to review the most popular requests.

However, here are some ways to select or deselect multiple thoughts:

• CTRL + Left-click on the Gate (the small circle below the active thought that connects child thoughts). This action will select all child thoughts under the active thought.
• CTRL + Left-click and drag in the Plex (the graphics area) to select multiple thoughts. This works similarly to selecting multiple desktop icons—dragging your cursor will highlight and select thoughts within the area.

We hope this helps clarify! If you have further questions, please feel free to reach out.

Best regards,

John
