Adding Thoughts to a Selection in TheBrain 15 #101308

https://thebrain.zendesk.com/agent/tickets/101308

Hello Kerry,

Thank you for reaching out and for explaining the workflow.

The ability to build a selection incrementally is still available in TheBrain 15, but the mouse behavior is different from what you described.

To add individual thoughts to an existing selection, please try:

Ctrl + left-click

This should allow you to add thoughts one at a time to the current selection.

If you are looking for the keyboard command, you can check or assign it here:

Main Menu > Settings > User

Then open the keyboard/shortcut settings using the … menu and search for:

Add Thoughts in Selection

From there, you can confirm the current shortcut or assign one.

If your keyboard bindings seem incorrect or the command is not behaving as expected, you can also restore the default keyboard bindings from the same keyboard settings area:

Main Menu > Settings > User > … > Restore Default

So in short: the incremental selection workflow is still available, but please use Ctrl + left-click rather than Shift + click in v15.

If Ctrl + left-click does not work on your system, please let us know your operating system and TheBrain version, and we can review further.

Best regards,

John
