Marking items is convenient in some cases, but I like that
bash-completion or built-in readline path completion in shell prompt
allow me to *type* multiple file names. However it better than strictly
"one after another" since it is possible to move earlier typed text and
to edit it.
Ihor, have you considered custom keymap to add current text to a list
variable? However editing earlier added entries may be tricky.
