Hmm, maybe it's only me but to me it's a bit strange to use.
Let's say I have files: A B C D E F G H
If I want to select C, D, E, and F  I have to go to B and start selecting
from there ?

Or let's say I just selected B, C, D, E, F, G and H and now I want to
deselect G and H. I selected them using shift+right and now keyboard focus is
on H. Now if I press shift+left twice, H stays selected, keyboard focus is on
F, and F and G are deselected.

Both cases seem to me not very intuitive and different than everywhere else.

Bye
