Meshcentral: SHIFT Key + Other Keys (Arrow or Del) don't work as expected.

[davidblackmx]

Hello =)

SHIFT key isn't working correctly when is combined for example with the arrow keys or DEL key.
In Windows Explorer if I have selected a folder and I use shift + key down to select more folders, the selected folder change to the next one, and don't select 2 or more folders.

If I use shift + mouse click works fine, fail when I only use the keyboard.

In windows explorer too, if I want to permanently delete a folder (SHIFT + DEL) the system show the normal delete dialog (Trash Bin).

Same problem in Excel for example, when I use shift + arrows to select multiple cells.

Regards...

Also ran into this.
The SHIFT key combination (for example, SHIFT + HOME) does not work in any programs, not only in Explorer. Starts to work if you enable Numlock.

Or sometimes you need to disable numlock. Such bug is always there and only if the agent is installed on Windows. There is no such error on Linux.

Will look into it. Pretty sure this is a bug.

So, I am able reproduce this on MeshCentral² version 0.3.6-g installed via npm on NodeJS 10.15.3 while remote controlling either a Windows 7 or Windows 10 desktop (each from the other), using either the Windows 32 or 64 bit meshagent.exe (acquired via the invite link, though I doubt that matters).

Interestingly, right-clicking a file and pressing Shift+D correctly brings up the "Are you sure you want to permanently delete this file?" window, whereas selecting the file and pressing Shift+Del brings up the "Are you sure you want to move this file to the Recycle Bin?" window, exactly the same as pressing the Del key without Shift.

Same here with the version on meshcentral.com, a bit annoying since I use SHIFT+keys a lot (for remote text and files manipulation it's great to use SHIFT + arrow keys or ORIGIN or END to select lots of items quickly).

Looks like it is still not resolved - running latest at the moment 0.4.7-z

[vitko-bg]

0.5.45 - still same issue ...

[OutbackMatt]

I reckon that I still get this on 0.7.28

[uldiseihenbergs]

huh, it's already 2021, and i still can't select more folders with Shift+Arrow in windows. any suggestion?

[uldiseihenbergs]

looks like it wont work, when NumLock is on.. when i turn it off, then it works..

[vitko-bg]

running on MC2 0.7.53 - the issue still persist
