hey Matthias,

the r4452 commit message explains why it is gone and frankly i see no way 
around it as quasi mode  switching would involuntarily switch select modes as 
well
"#319 and #399 deactivate the ctrl feature used to limit selection to the 
selected layers because it is buggy and it is not compatible with quasi-mode 
tool (ctrl already used to switch to select tool)"
