-it'll be very useful to have a way to apply new criteria and append other stuff to what currently is selected via CTRL+M, context menu > Select > Select Items. (Sticky Selection should NOT be part of the solution, since it works with a severe deal breaker for me as it currently is).
What about...?
Thanks!

That was planned anyway, and was already coded under the hood.

It will work like this:

1) hold SHIFT while clicking OK in Ctrl+M dialog = Add matches to current selections
2) hold CTRL while clicking OK in Ctrl+M dialog = Remove matches from current selections

This was my intuitive decision. Does everybody agree with SHIFT=ADD and CTRL=REMOVE?

Admin: No prob for me.

It doesn't seem to jibe with the modifiers for drag-and-drop: Ctrl+left mouse button copies, which seems like adding to me; Shift+left mouse button moves, removing the file from the original folder.

Yes, I'm aware of this. But still I find it more intuitive as I did it. Probably because with manual multiple selection SHIFT is used to add more selections, and CTRL can be used to unselect a selected item. You see?

Different contexts; got it.

(Too) Late to the party, but anyways...

Not sure I agree with that (that it's more intuitive this way) (besides, you can use both CTRL and SHIFT to add, and both at once to add or remove items in a selection... ), especially since, when trying to think, I think of the icon used in drag&drop operation : CTRL == + (I think add); SHIFT == - (I think remove)
That was/is my way of thinking, so much so that reading the log about this feature, I wondered why it had been done in reverse...

Anyways, is there I reason this only works while clicking OK? I mean, why not allow a CTRL+M, <type filter>, CTRL+OK to add (I mean remove, damnit! ) and no need to go grab the mouse

I'm absolutely open to changing CTRL and SHIFT, and given that jacky is always right, I should probably do it.

You mean CTRL/SHIFT+ENTER, yeah, I'll check that...

Yes, +ENTER of course!

Also, I just assigned a KS to this thing (it should have one by default btw. Not sure which one, I used Ctrl+Alt+M but it's not free, however Ctrl+Shift+M is if I'm not mistaken), and upon trigger XY tells me "Function #256 not found!" I'm not sure what to say..?

Can't you just stay were you've been? Now it comes again, the avalanche of bug reports and good ideas....

Erm.. I'm too late, but why didn't you just make this an option in the dialog?
[] Keep Current Selection

EDIT: (I was all confused on what was going on here, )
