It is not in kdelibs yet. The responsible files in Dolphin are 
kdebase/apps/dolphin/src/selectionmanager.* and selectiontoggle.* 
(SelectionToggle would be a private interface).

All that is required is to attach the Selection manager to an existing 
itemview:

SelectionManager* selectionManager = new SelectionManager(view);

Maybe it would be a good idea that you copy the files first for testing 
purposes? If everything is fine from an interface and behavior point of view, 
I'd adjust the files so that they can be moved to kdelibs if I get the OK.

Best regards,
Peter
