Bad key bindings for multiple selections #67

Description

@oleg68

the "multi-selection" feature that was added in 2.18 uses not obvious a non standard key binding.

Now a click to another object (ex. a Rank, or a Stop) adds it to existing selection. But this behavior differs from the behavior of most another applications (including GrandOrgue), where the click deselects the old item and selects the new one.

Moreover, multiple-selection is used more rarely than changing the selection. But now changing the selection is quite difficult and requires extra clicks:

  • Click to the new item (because the user has forgotten that OdfEdit)
  • Sees that the result is not expected
  • Click to Unselect
  • The second click to the new item.

The standard key bindings of adding to existing selection are Ctrl+Click and Shift+Click, not a simple click.

Could you revert ro the old behavior of a single click?
