If you’re a Mac user, you may have found yourself needing to select multiple files or folders at once. Fortunately, selecting multiple items on a Mac is a quick and easy process, and in this tutorial, we’ll walk you through it.
To get started, you can simply click on a single file or folder to select it. If you click off it, it will deselect. To quickly select everything, hold down the Command button (which is the key with the Apple logo) and then click on “A” for “all”. This will select everything in the current window.
If you want to select specific files or folders, you can click and drag to select them. However, if you’re using the icons view, keep in mind that if you click on one file, hold down the Shift key, and then click on another, it may not select everything in between.
To select everything in between two items, you’ll need to switch to the list view. In the list view, you can click on one file, hold down the Shift key, and then click on another, and everything in between will be selected.
If you need to deselect a single item while keeping everything else selected, just hold down the Command button and click on the item you want to deselect.
And that’s it! Selecting multiple files and folders on a Mac doesn’t have to be a daunting task. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to post them down below.
