The standard behavior is for
command-click to perform non-contiguous multiple select. shift-click performs contiguous multiple select command-shift-click appears to perform just like shift-click
At least that's how it works in the Finder, which I think should be the Mac reference for this type of behaviour.
I think that substituting command for control with the current roundcube behaviour would be fine though as it's really just "more" functionality.

Is that the standard behavior for Macs? When I implemented the select/control-click behavior, I studied exactly what Outlook, Outlook Express and Thunderbird did in Windows (XP) and attempted to emulate that exact behavior. I don't have a Mac, but if someone could describe the exact behavior and key combinations with a Mac on a similar set of standard applications, I'd be happy to attempt to implement it.
Key combinations to test are:
Click Shift-Click Command-Click Command-Shift-Click
Situations to test are each of these in different combinations with each other in different scenarios:
When nothing is selected When a continous list of things are selected When a non-continuous list of things are selected
So for instance, what happens when you click a list item, shift-click an item 5 below it, command-click an item two up from that one and then command-shift-click an item another 10 up from that?
If you can tell me definitively that a Command-click and command-shift-click do the exact same thing in all situations as a Control, then that will be an easy change. The key is predictability. What I'm going for here is the exact same behavior in RC as in ... well whatever you Mac users use for e-mail.

This new select behavior is nice for contiguous selection but doesn't
really work on Macintosh. When you control-click you get the context menu (right click for Mac). Can you add the behavior so that the Command key will do the same on the Mac as Control?
