Is there a keyboard shortcut equivalent to CNTL-Click?

I work with a visually impaired lady who does not use a mouse (because she
cannot see what to click).

For all her work, she uses keyboard shortcuts (and has a background program
which reads the highlighted object/text to her).

In Windows Explorer, she is familiar with using Shift-Arrow to select a list
of files - but has asked what she does if there are files within the list
that she does not want to include in the selection.

Is this function available? I've reviewed:

but could not see anything that resembled this request.


Thanks for your help.

Regards,

KD.
