What's even more of a pain is that Ctrl-click is a common usage on 
Windows (add/subtract single item to/from selection), so the naive 
Windows programmer (that's me) designs this into his apps. And his Mac 
users have no way to access this function :-(

I guess one approach is to use Shift-click instead - but that means 
something different on Windows (extend existing selection up to this 
clicked item), darn it !!      About once a day I curse this mis-feature 
of Rev's IDE on Windows. 
(Not that I have a solution - but it still gets a curse :-)
