Description

When I click on (or drag over) an unselected element it is selected. So I would expect that doing the same action on a selected element it will be unselected. In this way, if I select multiple elements and realise that the one in the middle is not what I wanted I can click on it and deselect it. Likewise, if I have a large list of items and I want to select all but a few, I can select those few first and then select them all (which would deselect the few previously selected elements).

I find this kind of behaviour more intuitive and more practical. What do you guys think?

I've implemented this functionality, along with a 'noConflict' option so that selectables works with sortables, in this demo: http://nicolas.rudas.info/jquery/selectables_sortables/

Changes are attached here but also found in the link above.

Forgot to mention that I haven't really tested this and if it plays nicely with the rest of the plugins or ui core. However, the changes made are quite specific to selectables and sortables so I assume it would be ok.

Awesome idea (also takes care of ticket #2946 http://dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/2946). A side note- it doesn't work in Chrome, if you weren't aware already.
