It would be much easier and quicker to click with a modifer key. For
comparison, imagine how awkward it would be to have to visit the layers
pallette every time you wanted to select two or more objects, rather than
simply shift-click.

For a simple bit of selecting, the layers pallette (and indeed the
keyboard/context shortcuts) are distracting when you're in the middle of
something. The easiest method which doesn't involve pallettes or taking your
hand off the mouse is to context-click and choose from the sub-menu. And
that is kinda fiddly.

A nice little modifer-click would be most welcome.
