Backspace come to mind, or some F key. But _please_ not a modifier 
key...
(I wondered why this was one of the two keys discussed in the docs, 
though. I've never used this hotkey (except when I didn't want to), so 
I don't think the keybinding you choose will be that important).

CTLR-click is mutli-selection. Shift-click is range selection. If you 
know useful semantics for range-selection in 2d (I don't), then go 
ahead. Shift-click might be better used to cycle through overlapping 
objects in a diagram, though.
