--- Comment #3 from Pedro <vermelhusco1904 at gmail.com> ---
Using "legacy" as a reason to not adapt Ctrl selection is simply not valid
sorry.
Otherwise we would not fix or adapt anything in LibreOffice, we would not have
Sidebar or Tabbed UI or new icons. 
We would keep things as legacy. LO is a evolving software.

It's normal that users EXPECT Ctrl to be used for multiple icon selection when
it's used by text editors, Office suites, web-browsers, e-mail clients, etc.
If LO does it different, then it's a bug not a feature. 

I write this with no intention to offend, nor did I have that intention when I
opened my bug report. Considering the multiple issues with Ctrl selection in LO
(check See Also bugs), this is clearly not a good legacy.

If this indeed requires a lot of effort for low visible reward then I agree
with you that it won't merit the effort. That to me is a good valid reason
because this bug in itself is not very serious indeed. 

But when you compound this bug, with the other two related bugs (non-contiguous
cell selection in chart creation in Calc, selecting multiple lines/rows in
tables in Writer and Impress) then this probably merits someone to look into
all these related issues.

All the best.
