Those are the Emacs-style keybindings that the Terminal uses for line movement by default. Set the Home key to send control-a and End key to send control-e. You can do that in Terminal -> Preferences -> Keyboard. holding command to select non consecutive files then adding shift with command still down to highlight a range whilst keeping the original non consecutive files highlighted. Terminal is another story, and you'll need to tell it how you want the Home and End keys to behave. Interestingly the selection technique i want works in mozilla thunderbird under mac os x. I have read numerous forums all saying just use shift or whatever but its not quite what is required. I made a video screen capture to explain what i mean cause its either hard to explain or not available at all on Mac or no one can answer. When you try to do this in finder on OS X it just highlights everything from the first file to the last and will include anything that wasn't selected before hand in between. Then if you add the shift key holding it with control also you can select a consecutive range of files whilst keeping the previous non consecutive files highlighted. In windows you can hold control while clicking to select multiple files consecutive or not. I have been hunting for an answer for this problem for a while now and i have recently made the full switch to mac (have used before) and would really like to find out how to do this. I don't think this question is fully answered or correctly explained.
