KiCad copied this feature, and I was frustrated by the "inconsistent behavior" of the selection tool for years until someone finally explained it to me.

Now it's great, but if you're going to copy features like this, please make sure to document them so that people trying to learn how to use your tool without the requisite historical perspective don't get frustrated.

Eventually computing is going to get to the point where it's no longer possible to learn all of the historical baggage around why things are done a certain way. For a lot of people, we're already there.
