This is the same key you use with "Q" to quit or "C" to copy.
I'm a new mac fan and one simple thing I haven't figured out is how to select more than on thing in a list. Files, songs, or any items: how can I use the mouse and some combination of keys to select more than one? It's come up many times for me, specifically in iTunes. I don't want to clear one song at a time - can anyone help? Thanks!

Hold down the "apple" key (I don't know how to display it in text) while you click on additional items. You can select or deselect items one at a time.

Hi nikii,
Yes, you can choose each file one by one with the command key
Hi y pw, to see "⌘" type "⌘"
or you can select all a, b, c, d, e, f files by selecting "a", pressing Shift (⇧) then selecting "f".
Of course ⌘A still selects all...
In Icon view, you can also use the mouse to select a large area of the window/desktop, and drag the mouse cursor over all the files that you want to highlight.

Hmm I never really used the command key before
b (The key with the Apple on it)
You can also use the
b Shift key which can be found below the return key or the caps lock key.
In itues though I hate to tell you that you can only select ones next to eachother. I hope that helps.

Hi Axl,
⌘ is also included in the Charcoal font collection and can be accessed via the Character Palette.

I just opened up iTunes 5.0.1 and was able to select multiple non-consecutive songs by clicking on titles and holding the "CMD" key.
ypw is correct. Non-consecutive items can be selecting in iTunes by command-clicking, which is also the same way it is done in the Finder, as has been mentioned.
Awesome - I figured it was simple but the combinations I was trying just weren't working. 🙂
