Anyone know?

I can hold down the CTRL key, and click the text of topics, or hold down the CTRL key, and click individual replies to topics like clicking icons on my desktop on this forum. Does anyone know what its for? It does not seem to be for moderational* actions, so I am not sure what to think.

*Moderational is not a real word... moderating is

If i hold down the CTRL key and click a topic, it opens up a new tab. That's how I look through unread topics.

(firefox by the way)

If I hold down the CTRL key and click a topic it maximizes my text
display. Internet Explorer 7.......

Not clicking on the Links, but the topics themselves.
A screenshot is below:


 

I marked all selected items with connected dots, notice how they are outline?

Are you holding down the CTRL key and using the scroll wheel?
I am just holding down control, and normally clicking the non-link parts of topics

CTRL + click, shows web page's frames for me.

I've been wondering if thats what it is. If you click on individual topic replies, you can select the signature area, the avatar area, and the topic itself, but if you select outside that area, your previous selections disappear.

Exactly. This is how CTRL works (with different functions). It's a selective key. For instance, in Windows Explorer, you can select non-consecutive files by holding CTRL, and clicking.

BTW...too much time on hand???.....LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Yes

I guess I never really sit and click while holding down CTRL, except in IE7. Well, its a wonder filled world
I just found it by accident

I'm pretty sure, that you may have 20-30 years of computer experience, and you'll keep finding something new about it.

[boo]

I get what Zylstra is saying. If you click the box with the CTRL key, the box gets highlighted or something. Same thing happens with me.
