"Aaargh!"

just discovered that setting of:
//selection rectangle is off
ModifierKeyActions.Control = ModifierKeyAction.None; // Select;
(which disables the selection rectangle)
ALSO disables the toggling of clicked nodes to add them to Selection
from documentation: "Select
Start drawing a selection rectangle if the mouse is dragged while a modifier key is pressed down.
Toggle the selection if an item is clicked while the key is down."
===
so, when i disable the selection rectangle, my ctrl-click selecting of disparate nodes also goes *poof* and i was unable to recreate this event handler as some internal Mindfusion handler deletes the Selection in-between.

===
not sure how to both:
a) disable the selection rectangle but
b) retain having ctrl-click of disparate nodes add to Selection...?
