I tried out the new selection stuff tonight. Very cool!
I do think that the simple Select command should be a toggle instead
of having separate add and remove commands. I also think we should
add a Select All and Select None. :) But I'm still not sure how I
think these commands should be mapped to keys.
I think I like the feel of left mouse button to toggle clip selection.
Especially since any accidental click would be reversible by just
clicking again, so there's a very low cost.
What do you think of trying out:
Toggle Selection < LeftMouseButton >, < S >
Select All < S A >
Select None < S D >
