Hold down CTRL when you are selecting and the cursor will not move.

This sounds interesting but I’m not quite following it.
Holding down the ctrl key duplicates the event.
Can you explain what you mention a bit more?
Thanks
Roger

Roger, don’t MOVE the Event, otherwise you will get a copy. This is to only LOCK/FIX the Event from moving whilst wanting to Split it.

Grazie

When you hold down the Ctrl key Roger and select an event, the
cursor does not move. That’s what Matt was recommending.

[Matt Carlson] “Hold down CTRL when you are selecting and the cursor will not move.”

Yes, but if an event(s) is already selected it will stay selected. The Ctrl modifier is used to add more events to an existing selection.

This is standard Windows UI convention.

Ctrl+Click adds individual items to a selection.
Shift+Click adds to a selection where everything in between the current selection and the Shift+Click point is added to the selection.
