I have saved several attachments and would like to click them to send in an
email. I can click and get one at a time, but how can I highlight all of
them to send at once? I saved to documents and tried using ctrl/alt/click.
But it just will choose one at a time.
Thanks.

Any time you are selecting anything in win and other file managers you
can shift-click to 'collect' sequential or contiguous items en masse, or
control-click one-at-a-time to select non-contiguous ones into a
selected group for a single attaching operation.

Or shift-click to select a big bunch of them and then control-click to
deselect specified one/s of those.

If you have sticky keys operational, you have to 'work with' that.

CTRL-ALT? Try just CRTL-click {or just hover the mouse over it,
depending on your settings}.

Yeah - one of the long time standard functions of Windows. It's amazing how
many people never learn some of the best tips. Like yesterday - I was
helping a guy with his CAD program. He had two files open. He didn't know
how to ctrl-tab between them. Everytime he wanted to switch between them, he
went to the file/open menu and reopened the file.

You could high light all the files an right click send to mail recipient

I think somewhere along the way a 'tipping point' develops - in which
the user, regardless of which operating system background s/he came
from, who needs to do some task and 'reflects' on similar tasks
performed before in another app or even another operating system or file
manager [or another galaxy far far away] and thinks 'there ought to be
some shortcut for this' -- and checks and finds that the well designed
program or interface has one.

Sometimes the shortcut is so 'logical' that the user can guess at it
intuitively. Or determine/find 'undocumented' keyboard shortcuts.

Of course, then you get into the concepts of the 'mousers' vs the
'keyboarders' and keyboard/mouse ergonomics.

Right. Exactly what I was trying to do, but couldn't figure out to
highlight more than one at a time. Thanks for your help.

True. I'm one of those who even looks into command line options for programs

Concur. I am much more likely to stay on the keyboard as much as possible,
since I was doing computers before Apple made the first mouse. And typing
before that. So I'm quite comfortable on the keys. But RMIs can occur from
either the keyboard or the mouse, especially if ergonomics aren't
considered. (The other thing, of course, is frequent breaks, good posture,
stretches, etc. to keep flexible.) I find that if I am on my mouse
intensively for hours (CAD, photo editing, etc.) then my wrist does suffer
unless I take proper precautions. Typing however is less of an issue for me.
