You can use standard methods to highlight list items for further actions.
Highlight a single item by clicking it. Highlight multiple consecutive items
by clicking the first item and then Shift+clicking the last. Use Ctrl+click to
highlight non-contiguous items and to toggle highlighting of a single item.
In most cases, if a cell in the Reactions list or the States list contains a single
numeric value, you can change the value by dragging vertically on the cell.
Click and hold on the number in the cell, and then move the mouse upward
to increase the value or downward to decrease it. The exception to this are
the Start and End values for master objects; you can change these values only
by modifying a slave's Start or End value. You can also modify a one-value
field by double-clicking it and then editing it with the keyboard. If a field
contains multiple numeric values, you must manipulate the object directly
in the viewports or the appropriate dialog.
The dialog also has a
right-click menu on page 3243 for managing reactions and
states, available by right-clicking anywhere on the dialog except in the graph
section.
NOTE A master is an object that you can use to control other objects via Reaction
controllers, and a slave is an object controlled by a master.

of objects with Reaction controllers in the scene. You can use its controls to

above the list and in the list itself.
