Can't add lines to selection with Ctrl

I can select several lines with Shift, but I can't do it via Ctrl, although sometimes I need to copy non-adjacent lines.

I guess that the problem is that Ctrl is being used to select characters range instead of lines range (e.g. to copy a part of the line only)

Just noticed that the problem isn't in Search Results only, so I removed Search Results tag

Selection of non-adjacent lines is not supported by underlying selection model. This is indeed a nice to have feature.

Hello Variar, is it possible, to add checkbox checker at the end of the line in filtered view (in main view it does not makes sense)? Then user can check those lines which he is interested for or all possible (e.g. by some next button) and work with them on another level - save selected lines to file, store them to clipboard etc. Other variant might be (if it is possible) to extend functionality of the gray bar on the left and add another mark aside red dot and arrow with drag'n'drop functionality. Are any of the variants reasonable and acceptable from your point of view? I believe that it would really help to usability of this awesome tool

@Repoloon I think impementing common pattern for selection of multiple lines with Ctrl is the best approach. As a workaround it is already possible to mark the lines, then switch buttom panel to display only marked lines and select them.
