To be fair, that trick works on *any* OS and has done so for many
years. It's just not widely known as the mouse prevails over the
keyboard for most users. Same as holding down the [CTRL] key whilst
selecting items with the mouse to 'cherry pick' an assortment of files
from a folder, or using [CTRL]+[C] for copy / [CTRL]+[V] for paste.
Often the combination of keyboard and mouse is faster and more elegant
than using either alone.
