To make this type of selection the default, and thus not require the use of the **`Alt`** key, change the [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Advanced advanced preference] `selectaction.cycles.multiple.matches` to true. Holding `Ctrl` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd` (Mac) afterwards to directly select an object.

    9571* `Alt` can be combined with `Shift`
    9672* `Alt` can't be combined with `Ctrl` or `Cmd` - as this is used for the **scale** command described [#Scale below]
    9773* `Ctrl` or `Cmd` combined with `Shift` makes no sense

    170 Whether a mouse action is considered a selection or a move depends on some settings, to prevent objects from being moved when a simple selection was intended; this is particularly important on devices such as tablets that are touch sensitive or use a stylus. If the pointer is moved between pressing and releasing the left mouse button, the object will only be moved if the pointer moved more than 5 pixels or was held down for more than 0.2 seconds, otherwise the object will simply be selected. These two settings can be changed with the [wikitr:/Help/Preferences/Advanced advanced preferences] `edit.initial-move-threshold` (pixels) and `edit.initial-move-delay` (milliseconds).
