Keyboard Selection in Lists

John Gruber:

(1) keyboard-only selection in lists ought to be anchored because keyboard-only selection in text views is anchored; and (2) keyboard-only selection ought to be anchored because mouse-only selection is, because keyboard-only selection is in general terms very similar to mouse-only selection—you get one button (the mouse button or the Shift key) and a current direction (the pointer movement or an arrow key).
