Re: Selecting files without opening them in nautilus

Hi. I have a simple question: Is it possible to select a file in
nautilus without it automatically being open if my mouse behavior is to
open files on a single click? Right now I'm running GNOME 2.8 (using
CentOS 4.3) and I love the great behavior of my desktop, but I'm
wondering if there's some mouse command or something that I'm not aware
of to select a file without it opening under the premise that my files
open on a single click. Any suggestions? TIA.

Sincerely
Jose Alburquerque

Sure! Make sure nothing else is selected (e.g click between two files),
then press and hold Ctrl key while single-clicking on the desired file.
