    <title>idea Contents Pane — Use shift/CTRL + up/down arrow keys to select multiple layers in ArcGIS Pro Ideas</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;ArcGIS Pro 3.3.0&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have multiple layers in the Contents pane. I want to use &lt;U&gt;&lt;EM&gt;shift/CTRL + up/down arrow keys&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/U&gt; to select multiple layers. And then group or remove the layers using a single action.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;That works for standalone tables, but not for spatial layers; it seems to have a hard time with the sub-levels like symbology and annotation class.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Shift/CTRL + &lt;U&gt;&lt;EM&gt;clicking&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/U&gt; does work as expected for spatial layers. That's good, but using the arrow keys is also a common workflow, so I'm wondering if Pro could be enhanced to do that, too.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've submitted this as an idea, not a case/bug, because I suspect it might be working as designed. It might have been designed that way to allow for keyboard navigation to the layer sub-levels. But I'm hoping that behaviour can be improved: if selecting multiple layers with the arrow keys, then only select the top-level layers to allow batch grouping and removal using the arrow keys.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Video:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;div class="lia-vid-container video-embed-center"&gt;&lt;div id="lia-vid-6353390673112w800h540r417" class="lia-video-brightcove-player-container"&gt;&lt;video-js data-video-id="6353390673112" data-account="6161463677001" data-player="default" data-embed="default" class="vjs-fluid" controls="" data-application-id="" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"&gt;&lt;/video-js&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script src="https://players.brightcove.net/6161463677001/default_default/index.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;script&gt;(function() {  var wrapper = document.getElementById('lia-vid-6353390673112w800h540r417');  var videoEl = wrapper ? wrapper.querySelector('video-js') : null;  if (videoEl) {     if (window.videojs) {       window.videojs(videoEl).ready(function() {         this.on('loadedmetadata', function() {           this.el().querySelectorAll('.vjs-load-progress div[data-start]').forEach(function(bar) {             bar.setAttribute('role', 'presentation');             bar.setAttribute('aria-hidden', 'true');           });         });       });     }  }})();&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a class="video-embed-link" href="https://community.esri.com/t5/video/gallerypage/video-id/6353390673112"&gt;(view in My Videos)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
