Use CMD for Selecting Multiple Notes

Related: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/select-multiple-notes-in-files-tab/52407

Use case or problem

It’s customary to use CMD key for multiple selection on Mac (most apps work this way). Using ALT the way it’s now is not intuitive.

Proposed solution

Add a setting to change default hotkey for notes selection.

Agreed. In addition, the Mac Desktop app highlighting of notes makes it difficult to tell which notes are selected and which are not.

To reproduce

    • In File Tab, select 2 files.
    • Deselect 1 file

Note that the selected and deselected files are both highlighted in 2 different shades. The deselected file is light gray, and the selected file is dark gray. Files that were not selected are not highlighted.
