Use -selected in the search window. You can add a specific search as toolbar button too if needed, see wiki:/Help/Action/Search#SavesearchqueryinMaintoolbar

could be added to the selection menu.

Adding "Invert selection" to the selection menu sounds a reasonable enhancement. Probably limited to expert users though.

GIMP also provides this action, ​https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-selection-invert.html

We are basically out of shortcuts. Which shortcut do you suggest?

According to the shortcuts list, Ctrl+BackSpace is still available.

Sounds ok to me. Simon, what do you think?

[simon04]

My opinion: Not every action needs a shortcut. Especially expert users can assign shortcuts themselves for the most used actions.
