            Description

            The current selection behaviour for ace:list is to support multiple selection via mouse-clicks. This presents an issue when you've selected one or more rows in the list, re-ordered them, and would then like to select a different row or set of rows. You first have to click each previously selected row to deselect it, which is tedious.

            A better approach would be to support the standard keyboard modifier keys when doing list row selection, as follows:

            - Click (no modifier keys): Deselects any previously selected rows, selects the current row.
            - Ctrl/Command-Click: Selects the current row, keeps any previously selected rows selected.
            - Shift-Click: Selects the range of rows between the last selected row and the current one.

              Added first revision of new selection functionality.

              Also added double click migrations to offer greater consistency with the most familiar dual list components.

              Double+click = shift item to the right
              Shift + Double+click = shift item to the left

              Ala tab and shift+tab.
