Question from Mark:  Sometimes it's hard to remember the difference between ctrl and shift.  Is there an easy way to remember which key to use?  Is ctrl like "addition" and shift like "alternate"?

Answer:  Think of it like they are used in Microsoft Office.  If you want to select individual geometries, use the CTRL key.  If you want to select multiple geometries, use the Shift key.
