Makes sense to me.

Not sure if I was able to communicate what I mean. When you are about to "click
anywhere" to deselect items, you would be confused if a file was highlighted.
You would think that your next click would act on that file instead of
deselecting everything and not acting on that file. For that reason the
highlight should only show up if your next click will interact with that file.

Right. As Nate said: The highlight should show up while you are for example
pressing Ctrl to select additional items.
