This post was updated on .
I've been thinking about possibilities for ctrl + click.
One idea is to have it activate "Deselect Intersected Entities" or "Deselect Window".

Now I'm thinking about two different selection modes.

The first mode is like we have it now,
where click and drag is "select window"
and ctrl + click would be "deselect window"

In the second mode click and drag is "select intersected entities",
and ctrl + click is "deselect intersected entities".

I think that's a good idea. The "default action" is an important feature indeed.

on selection actions, there's something to improve as well:

there's "select single", but no "de-select single";
there's "select contour", but no "de-select contour";
there's "select layer", but not "de-select layer";

For example, "select layer" action should be a "toggle layer", i.e., combination of "select layer" and "de-select layer".

What is the use case for "select contour"?

say, you have a perfect contour (like from: Draw -> Line -> Rectangle )

by "Select Contour" you can select the whole contour in one click, for hatching as a use case.
