Hi! You make a good point, that the current behavior might not make sense on desktop. We started out on Android and iOS and there "tapping" on objects makes a whole lot more sense. We should probably revisit the entire controls logic in the future. In the meantime, try it out on mobile, might feel more fluid.



I was confused on selection patterns too. But now that you mentioned that it was meant to be used by 'tapping' (started out on touch devices), selection behavior makes much more sense. Tap to select, tap again to deselect. Tap another item to add to current selection. Thanks!


What about holding the finger on the first object, then tapping on the second for extending the selection?


I'm seeing the same behavior on mobile (surprised it worked so well on my ancient phone!). Make two items, tap the first item, then tap the second one. It still looks confusingly like nothing is selected.


Yeah, the behavior is the same, I meant it feels more natural on the phone :) I'll add it to our backlog, to take a look at it and maybe rethink the selection logic.
