Intersecting selections with modifier

[Shivadas]

From what I gather there is no way to hold "ctrl" + "alt" and thus intersect a selection, like is possible in Photoshop when holding both "shift"+"alt".

Could this pretty please be added in the next release (or is there a method I'm missing?)

Hi @Shivadas,

You can use the on-screen buttons for this: 

Thanks,

Thanks

So no modifiers for that then... pity because it slows us down a bit (and modifiers are already working for add and subtract?

That is slow. One should hook up Modifiers and context sensitive RMB menu entries for selections as well. The current concentration on the context toolbar only supports the fraction of Affinity users that likes to run a program visually. For users with other preferences it's rather disappointing – Affinity literally hasn't clicked with me yet.

Hi! Another confusing thing is modifiers to add or subtract work differently in polygonal than freehand:

in freehand when you start selecting with eg "alt" down, it will always remove.
with poligonal, I have to remember to hold alt at the end. If it were consistent, either one of them would be fine to me!
Of course the freehand selection version is closer to the standard of eg. Adobe

@Affinity Photo for Mac any changes coming in next release regarding this?
