Select/deselect with middle mouse click (What was the deal with "R"?)

It is a wish bug to select multiple layers by holding 'R' and dragging a box around multiple elements on canvas which will then select the respective layers in layer stack - OR - holding 'Shift+R' and left clicking on multiple elements on canvas which then will select respective layers in the layer stack.

Currently we can quickly select only one layer by holding 'R' and left clicking on the canvas

Here is the bug report - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342595

OK, thank you for explaining for me again, I added that bug report to the list and copied what you said here into the report. It sounds like a great feature idea, I think it would be worth making a phab task for it, when someone gets started.

Isn't middle mouse click for panning the canvas ? 'R' click is for quickly selecting the layers so expanding the same functionality by adding an extra modifier to 'R' or enabling drag select makes sense in my opinion.
