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?



Not being funny, but have you tried SHIFT-click?

The problem with SHIFT-clicking is that if there's something already selected, this selects everything "between" the "first" selection and the currently "clicked" selection. The reason I want something like a "hover select" is that I can be sure that only the one item is selected.
