@Retrobitt I've tried to reproduce it on my Windows. Ctrl doesn't work which is expected, but the shift works fine on my machine. Did you swap these shortcuts accidentally?

@LucasXu0 No, I didn’t change anything. I installed it directly and tried using it. When I select it with the mouse and press the Shift key, it’s supposed to highlight it, but it doesn’t.
