Sure, those are great, I love "fade in on mouseover" kind of stuff :) 
However, until we have those, I'd recommend showing them always. Once we 
have the fade-in checkboxes, we should change the recommendation to use 
them instead.
And maybe then it would even make sense to show only checked boxes 
permanently and unchecked ones only on hover, for the whole thing to 
look "lighter".
Without the mouseover, I don't think it's a good idea to have only 
ctrl/shift at first, though.
