Standard Modifier Keys

On both platforms, in addition to keyboard shortcuts, the standard modifier keys are used in combination with mouse clicks to perform various tasks. Ctrl selects or deselects multiple items that are not necessarily consecutive. For example, hold down Ctrl to select multiple photos, select multiple folders, select multiple keywords, etc. Shift selects or deselects multiple consecutive items. For example, hold down Shift while clicking to select multiple photos, select multiple folders, select multiple keywords etc. Alt changes the use of some controls. For example, in Quick Develop, it swaps the Clarity and Vibrance buttons for Sharpening and Saturation. In Develop panels, it changes the panel label to a panel Reset button, and holding it down while moving some sliders shows masks or clipping warnings. To switch catalogs when opening, hold down Ctrl.
