Need multi-select
Need multi-select
Nice job so far folks.
Still need to be able to multi-select items (by holding down CTL for individual items or SHIFT for a selection of contiguous items).

We are working on CTRL support on the next release. This is what we have in mind:
1) User Toggle's on 'Ctrl' key
2) User dismiss the keyboard to do multi-cell selection
3) When done, the user brings up the KB and toggle's 'Ctrl' off
What do you think?
Unfortunately "shift" support is more tricky since the Apple virtual keyboard does not provide Key Down/Up events for Shift. We are still investigating this.

The answer to the Shift-Click is to not rely on the virtual keyboard Shift key. Instead, you should add the Shift key along side Esc / Ctrl / Alt / Command keys on top of the virtual keyboard. Gamma VNC does this already and works for selecting a series of objects (including in iTunes where click and drag doesn't work as it does in Finder). Gamma VNC offers the Shift key along with the others. If you don't have room for all the special keys, consider a left/right scrolling bar above the virtual keyboard to reveal more keys / options buttons. Thanks.

User experience for CTRL-select as proposed sounds great.
(did not realize the shift-click thing relied on up/down - very interesting)

I found that the Android version of the Pocketcloud app does have a Shift special key under Fn. The iPhone version doesn't or at least I can't find it. The iPhone Fn keyboard has the Command key duplicated. It can easily be replaced by the Shift key without losing anything.
