Dont have any samples, just an active imagination! LOL The ctrl key (windows) being used for selecting multiple objects is part of the common user interface guidelines created by Microsoft years ago.

The best starting point to learn more is from this post by wiki founder Jimmy Wales: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_interface_guidelines
