OSX Finder: Select multiple discrete files/items using keyboard [duplicate]
I don't think there's a native way to do this, but if you install Shortcat you can:
- select the first item using arrow keys
- activate Shortcat and type enough to focus on the next item you want
- hold Command and press Return
By the way, if you're as keyboard-centric as I am, you should also look at Karabiner Elements.
There is a native way using Accessibility to emulate mouse click as a "I" key
