Implement multi-select in left-panel file tree

[Tyriar]

It would be good to be able to move/copy/delete/etc. multiple files in the tree view at once using combinations such as:

Mouse

• shift+left click: Select all items from the currently focused item to the clicked item
• ctrl+left click: Add the clicked item to the selection

Keyboard

• shift+↑: Add the item above the focused item to the selection (or reduce the selection)
• shift+↓: Add the item below the focused item to the selection (or reduce the selection)
• ctrl+↑: Move the focus up without selecting the item
• ctrl+↓: Move the focus down without selecting the item
• ctrl+space: Add/remove the focused item from the selection

+1 - was just trying to delete multiple files as in WebStorm, found I couldn't do it 😞.

I don't like having to right click and and do "Open Containing Folder" and then doing what I want there.

this is important especially when needing to restructure an app by moving multiple files into other folder locations or deleting many files at once. we tend to do this often when in the early stages of web app development.
