Almost implemented with commit: 942dba3 We can copy/move multiple layers/frames/cels, and change the duration of a range of cels. Anyway you cannot select individual items with Ctrl key yet.

Status: Accepted

The Ctrl key will not be implemented (at least, not at this moment).

What's your reason why the Ctrl key function will not be implemented? I would find this quite useful, since I often link cels that are not adjacent to each other and as far as I know the only way to do this is to move them next to each other, link them and move them to their appropriate position. Or am I missing something?

You cannot ctrl+click to select non adjacent cels.

You can ctrl+drag when linked cels are active to create a new linked cel from another where you want it, even if it's not next to the other cel.

This gif does creates 4 linked cels at once (and not next to what they're linked with), but you can do one also:

Thanks a lot, I haven't used the "linked cells" mode so I kind of missed that feature. This helps greatly, thanks!

By the way, coming from Photoshop, I love Aseprite for pixel work and animation!
