    hello! i'm on a mac, in the latest beta version.

    i use the "layers and objects" window a LOT for selecting different parts of my files. i used to be able to hold command (control on a PC) to select multiple objects, but i can't seem to anymore? i can hold shift and select multiples in a chunk (for example, i can select objects #3-7 inclusive, but not objects #3, #6, and #7 separately)

    i did find the selection settings but didn't see a way of editing them, and also didn't super understand what i was looking at.

    is there something simple i'm missing?

    ctrl works for me here on macOS with 1.3alpha. Shift for adding in a row and ctrl to add+subtract from that list for instance.

    OH WEIRD!! it is actually the control key, not the command key -- that's good to know. didn't even occur to me to check because everything else that's normally ctrl on a PC transfers to command on mac!

    thanks!!
