Vscode: Shrink selection with mouse click should not deselect everything

Created on 23 Jun 2017  ·  3Comments  ·  Source: microsoft/vscode

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Make selection with mouse drag or shift+arrow keys
  2. Shift click inside the selection to shrink it (in case you selected more than you wanted)

In this case everything is deselected and you have to start over. Shrinking the selection with shift+arrow keys does work as expected. Please make a shift+click behave like that.

"editor.dragAndDrop": false can get you the behaviour you want. @rebornix this could be honoured when drag and drop is enabled too.
