[Feature Request] select multiple files using CTRL + Arrow keys, to move up and down, and CTRL + Space to select and deselect

this would give the ability to select multiple files that are not side by side similar to windows and nautilus, also instead of the dashed line box that shows up (to show you which file the arrow key is on, but isn't selected), maybe it could just be a border around the file / folder (similar to the window borders)

ORIGINAL TEXT: not sure if this is possible or not (title will be updated once i know if it is or not), is there a way to select multiple files / folders using a keyboard combination (nautilus and windows both use ctrl + space to select multiple files while using the arrow keys to move up or down, while shift + arrow selects each file, while using ctrl + arrow places a dotted box around the file / folder to show were the arrow as navigated to, but hasn't yet been selected)

For now I guess it only supports using shift + arrow keys to select multiple files.
