I agree.  I love rox, but i also wish it had the shift click (and
shift arrow, for that matter). Sometimes i don't want to use the
mouse, and when i do, i often don't hit the empty space as
Tony mentions. 

I know you can space bar to "select down", but it always starts
with the file *below* the one i selected.

Just an additional 2 cents.
