--- Comment #24 from Pedro <vermelhusco1904 at gmail.com> ---
Well, here's what I already did:

- I already provided multiple tests.

- Tested 4 different Office suites.

- Demonstrated that all of them not only allow use Ctrl to select multiple
objects but also allow use of Shift for legacy users.

- Demonstrated that LibreOffice is the only office suite that does not allow
the use of Ctrl to select multiple objects (

Furthermore:
- There are multiple users filing bug reports requesting this as Stuart as
shown with the duplicates.

- I can't define Ctrl as a keyboard shortcut to do this in Tools -> Customise
-> Keyboard.

- Ctrl is NOT used as a shortcut for nothing else.

Proposal: add Ctrl together with Shift as a way to select multiple objects. 

Advantages:
- This way we respect the proud legacy of LibreOffice. 
- Don't mess with established user workflows.
- Facilitate the use of LibreOffice for users used to using Ctrl to select
multiple objects.

Disadvantages:
- We copy Microsoft (the horror). (It's a joke Stuart, please don't kill me).
