At the bottom of the workspace window is the Status Bar. With one of the selection tools selected, it will tell you which keyboard modifier keys you can use to temporarily change selection modes. It is dynamic -- it changes depending on the current Mode you have selected on the Context toolbar & which selection tool you are using.
That second one was the ticket! I was trying to hard and simply had to allow it to be applied recursively. You sir have made my day and were super helpful.
Take a look at the plugins support page, for info on working plugins or issues: http://www.miguelboto.com/affinity/photo/plugins-support/
This is the help page for using plugins, the bit about authorisation is near the bottom: https://affinity.help/photo/en-US.lproj/pages/Filters/plugins.html

Hello Affinity users....
I am sure you are hearing this a lot lately. I am yet another slave trying to escape the Adobe masters hoping to cross this information desert into the land of those who do not rent software and seek true innovation. Please my fellow travelers have mercy on this old pro as I enter my ten days of trial to see if I am worthy of the Affinity Stones....
To make this work my Workflow Guide has told me I must find this list of capabilities to replace what my former master has put upon me.
(SIDE NOTE - I am already replacing Lightroom with Exposure X4 and love it so far. Also I shoot mostly portraits and commercial images and care about speed and efficient workflow while shooting 5D3)
I hope you enjoyed my poetic plea for help. If anyone can tell me straight up if there is anything on this list which Affinity can NOT do I would really appreciate it....
