Question

I was wondering if there is an option on the jQuery UI Selectable that will let me disable the Ctrl+Click, but still keep the draggable for the multiple selection. On my project I want to be able for people to select multiples, but only by dragging, not by Ctrl+clicking.

If there isn’t, does anyone know a way I can achieve this?

Any information would be really helpful! 🙂 Thanks!!!

Answer 1

Selectable uses the metaKey flag to do multi-select, so you can bind metaKey to be false on the mousedown before calling selectable. Then Ctrl+click will always be off. Make sure to bind before calling selectable though.

$('#selectable').bind("mousedown", function (e) {
            e.metaKey = false;
 }).selectable()
