Multiple selection holding SHIFT (suggestion)

VCV Rack

I noticed that I can’t select modules by dragging the mouse and holding shift, when other modules are already selected. Notice that I first select the 2 oscillators, then I press and hold SHIFT and when I try to click and drag to select the ADSR and the reverb, the oscillators are unselected. I need to click the modules one by one, which can be a pain if there are many modules to select:

I tried different keys, but it doesn’t work at all. If this is how it works right now, then I would suggest this feature.

What do you guys think?

I like the way it works now, shift+drag to grab the vast majority of modules then shift+click to add in or remove individual modules from that selection.

You don’t actually need to hold shift for the first selection.

Also, this wouldn’t change the other behavior of clicking individual modules while holding shift. What I mean is that we could hold shift and then click and drag to select a bunch of modules as well, while keeping the first selection intact

Pretending that these audio regions are the modules. See how I can select multiple “modules” by clicking and dragging a second time (or third, etc), while the first selection is still selected. And I can still select/unselect other “modules” using shift and clicking them
