Re: [Qgis-developer] selection tool behavior

2014-03-31 Thread Ramon AndiƱach
That's usually where I break out the polygon select tool - which is quite handy 
for places where you need to be careful. 

The unselect already selected behaviour is true for all the selection tools - 
so at least it's consistent. 

Sometimes I get annoyed at accidentally unselecting stuff, but more often I'm 
glad that I have a way of unselecting blocks of features without having to 
start again.

 Hi all
 
 I have been pointed that the selection tool (select by rectangle)
 unselects features already selected even when the ctrl is pressed.
 This way a user can add a selection to the existing one, but only if
 it carefully avoids the already selected features, and most of the
 times is very hard to do.
 
 What do you think?
 
 cheers

Re: [Qgis-developer] selection tool behavior

2014-03-31 Thread Alexandre Neto
Hello,

I find it also annoying, and not in the line of how other software do
(e.g., Inkscape). In Inkscape if you press Ctrl while rectangle select it
will always add features to the selection, If you click over an element
(still pressing Ctrl) it will toggle selection on and off for that
particular element.

An alternative could be:
- Using Ctrl would toggles selection on and off (the current behavior)
- Using Shift or Ctrl+Shift would add to selection;

(Or vice-versa)

Cheers,

Alexandre Neto
