Can't easily select multiple methods, when geneting delegate methods

 Description  « Hide
I want to add some delegate methods, so I use the generate delegate methods command. I choose an instance variable to delegate to, then try to choose the two methods I'm interested in.

Niether cmd-click nor ctrl-click allows me to make individual selections; I can select ranges with shift click, but the two methods are not near each other (natural or alphabetical order).

A more sophisticated UI might places check-marks next to method to delegate to, to make it easy to do multiple selection (and perhaps a double-click option as a quick way through the UI for handling single methods).

Ctrl+Click works on Windows XP.
And PLEASE do not add check-marks. This will make it much a lot harder to use keyboard and will result in the productivity hindrance Eclipse is.

I would think check marks would actually make it easier to use the keyboard. The keyboard behavior of the method chooser could be much improved in my opinion: IDEA-12937
