#Selection behavior could use some work IMO

In particular I really don't like how using shift+click to select multiple items always deselects any items that were already selected. I DO think it's useful to have that inverse selection thing as an option; I just wish it weren't the default. What if shift+click used more traditional selection behavior (it simply selects whatever is within the bounding box) and other modifiers offered different behavior? For instance if you already had some things selected then ctrl+click would add to the current selection, or alt+clicking on a combination of selected and not-selected things would invert their selection status (current selection behavior)

Hopefully this is more useful than the last thread I made about controls...it's the same issue really but I'm just able to phrase it better now 😅

That's actually pretty interesting because the shift+click toggling the selection was actually added as a feature a while ago XD

I'd prefer Shift+drag to add, Ctrl+drag to remove, and both at the same time to invert the selection
