Better selecting and deselecting - shift key should ONLY add new objects

here's option that average user can't find it because it's not mention anywhere.

An average user works with the tools that are already there. ;)

While a better vector lasso tool would be handy (there's one hidden under the Node tool modifier options, but not necessarily helpful in this case), an average user makes use of the Layers panel and Groups instead. Also make sure to disable Preferences > Tools > Select object when intersects…:

Thanks for tip, but it is still a workaround, there's always in my work cases where grouping could be a tedious work and not so easy as this one with monkeys. I think adding those select modes is still relevant, it would significally speed-up Designer's workflow. I guess it's not so hard to code it but it's only my wishful thinking ;)

Isn't "tedious work" and "not so easy" among the reasons why we get paid for doing a job?
Don't know about you, but that's how I calculate my prices.

And I fully agree! :)
