QAbstractItemView::SingleSelection	1	When the user selects an item, any already-selected item becomes unselected. It is possible for the user to deselect the selected item.
QAbstractItemView::ContiguousSelection	4	When the user selects an item in the usual way, the selection is cleared and the new item selected. However, if the user presses the Shift key while clicking on an item, all items between the current item and the clicked item are selected or unselected, depending on the state of the clicked item.

If the user presses the Shift key while clicking on an item, all items between the current item and the clicked item are selected or unselected, depending on the state of the clicked item. Multiple items can be selected by dragging the mouse over them.
