As you said, the moment when you press the modifier key is important. For effecting the shape, have it pressed while dragging the shape, esp. in the moment you let go of the mouse button. If you simply want to change the selection mode (such as add, subtract or intersect), make sure the modifier key is pressed while you _push the mouse button down_, you can let go of the key once the mouse button is down. I hope this helps, Daniel
