Deselect from selected objects using Shift+(Select Box). Unselect objects.

[anashashmi]

Other programs like AutoCAD can select objects within a box defined by dragging the mouse. And can unselect or deselect objects in the same manner by holding the shift key.

The first feature is already in Draw.IO. The second feature is not.

Request to add Shift+(Mouse Drag) to deselect selected objects in the selection box. Or alternatively use Ctrl+Drag (currently used for pan) to do the same thing. Alt+drag currently has the behavior to select objects crossing in the window. Shift+Alt+Drag should unselect selected objects crossing in the window.

I am on windows.

Try holding down Alt+Shift when the mouse button is released.

Not sure what happened but suddenly I can hold shift key and unselect objects.
Thank you.
