Thanks allan: This is already saving me time!
And I learned about hitting ⌃W multiple times. :-)
re key choice - The only hassle with shift is that it is a harder target to hit than option or control would be.
On a full keyboard, maybe. I don’t think that’s true on laptops.
Just playing for an hour, double tapping control feels like it would be a natural for undo incremental selections (control-W): Finger is already right there. Option would also be an option :-)
A fair number of people use Control to activate Quicksilver. I’d prefer Shift for that reason alone. If most people can’t live with that, maybe the choice of modifier could be a (hidden?) preference.
