            Bug ID: 346995
           Summary: Selection tools do not have "Add" or "Subtract" modes
           Product: krita
           Version: 2.9.1
          Platform: Windows CE
                OS: Windows CE
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Tools
          Assignee: krita-bugs-null@kde.org
          Reporter: chetchaka@gmail.com

For example: Let's say you have a tedious selection you want to lasso, like the
leg on a drawing you're doing, so that you can transform it. So you lasso it.
But your hand twitched and you selected too much of the other pieces of the
drawing!

In most programs that feature select tools, it's okay to be sloppy on the
initial select, as you can deselect portions of the selected area using a
"subtract" select, which lets you iterate more precise carvings for usability. 
"Add" does a similar-but-opposite action, growing the selection where you drag
to cover parts you missed.

These features are completely missing in Krita, heavily hampering useability
for people who use transformations / move often in their sketches. If you
select incorrectly, you have to do it over and over again until it is -just-
right, which is near-impossible with the lack of anti-aliasing on select tools.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use any shape of selection tool.
2. Attempt to find way to refine your selection after making it.
3. Realize that there is no way to do this.

Actual Results:  
The path-select tool is good, but many people don't like dealing with path
tools / find them slow. So there's really not a way to do this.

Expected Results:  
Using shortcuts like holding Alt (subtract) or Ctrl (add), it should be
possible to add / subtract to your existing selection without erasing it and
starting an entirely new selection.
