Well, in every single application I use, holding Shift will add to selection and holding Control will subtract from selection. I have no idea why Autodesk decided to do it this way... :/Don't know how to do this sorry... but why would you even want to do this? I don't know what your goal is with maya, but if it's to work proffesionally then it's going to be a hinderence to make lots of changes and add lots of shortcuts.
Reading the rest of the replies on this thread -- I am smiling to myself, because I hear less of a "progressive altruism" than I do an innovative façade to obscure and excuse the inadequacy of the individuals trying to answer your postHey guys,
I have been trying to adapt Maya more to my liking and would like Ctrl to be "Subtract from Selection", Shift to be "Add to Selection" and Shift+Ctrl to be "Inverse Selection".
However, I can't seem to find the ACTUAL Inverse Selection under [Window/Settings and Preferences/Hotekey Editor].
I change the "InvertSlection to Ctrl + Alt + Shift, but NOTHING happens when I try to do it.
So does anyone know how I can change InverseSelection from "Shift+Drag" to "Ctrl+Shift+Drag"?
and AddToSelection from "Ctrl+Shift+Drag to Shift+Drag"
Perhaps I am doing something wrong?
Thank you very much.
