Bulk Select and Controlled deselect

Is there a way to select all components for a move and then deselect a few that don’t need to be?

In kicad 5, modern toolset you can block select and use shift plus leftclick to deselect stuff out of that selection.

Thank you, I was using combo of crtl+shift and the like.

Is this actually the desired method?

In Windoze, block select is done with “Shift+Left-click” and individual select is done with “Ctrl+Left-click”. For Windoze users this is extremely un-intuitive/backwards.

I guess its not OS specific, but CAD tool specific…
shift+ L click is standard multi-select / de-select functionality in CAD/drawing tools like designspark, autocad, coreldraw, inkscape…
i haven’t worked with freecad or solidworks so can’t tell you about those
