Selecting multiple elements or objects in starUML (using Ctrl + left click)

Question

I use starUML for class diagrams and activity diagrams. I'm curious that "ctrl" (+ left click) does not work there. Therefore, I cannot select multiple items. therefore, to move or copy multiple objects you need to make a lot of effort. Although ctrl + A works, you should always select all the elements.

Am I missing something? Is there another way to select multiple elements at once in starUML? Although the selection of several elements with the mouse (left-click + mouse-clicking on several elements) is possible, it is not convenient and many times inaccurate. I am specifically looking for the 'ctrl' button here.

Thanks in advance, Ujjwal

Answer 1

Instead of controlling, try using the [Shift] button.

From the StarUML User Guide -

"You can select multiple elements by dragging the mouse over the area. Press and hold the [Shift] key to add the elements to the selection.
