Feature Request: Multi-Selection with CTRL (like Word & LibreOffice)
Posted: Thu Mar 13, 2025 2:33 pm
Hello,
I would like to request a feature to enable multi-selection in TRichView, similar to how it works in Microsoft Word and LibreOffice.
Currently, TRichView only allows continuous text selection. However, in Word and LibreOffice, users can:
Hold the CTRL key
Select multiple text parts without losing the previous selection
See a highlight effect for each selected range
I attempted a workaround by handling OnMouseDown and OnKeyDown events, storing selected ranges in a list, and applying a highlight style. However, this is not an ideal solution.
Is there any native support for multi-selection in TRichView, or could this be considered for a future update?
Thanks for your feedback!
