Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported behavior in XML Notepad with a WooCommerce export XML: select a top item, scroll, and use Shift before attempting removal. Read the existing selection and removal behavior, and consider the work done when a contiguous range can be selected and removed reliably.

Description

Hello there,

I am inquiring about whether there is a way to select a top item and then scroll below while holding in Shift to allow for bulk selection and removal. I am trying to clean up a WooCommerce export XML, but only need to keep the last entry, so I can import it into a site. Is this a feature this application is able to do, when I try to perform it, it does not accept the function, is this not possible, or does it require the settings to be changed from default?

-thank you much!
