Default unselect marquee mouse modifier please for goodness sakes

There are so many times I just want to unselect things rather than select them.

It could be called "Remove from selection" in the marquee select menu or add a new entry "Marquee unselect items"

Talking just about the suggested "Marquee unselect items" option, how much difference will that make to ctrl+left click to remove the unwanted item selections? Sure there will be more mouse clicks with the latter if more than two items will be unselected. But on the other hand you can unselect any item from anywhere instead of having to keep to a single marquee area and worrying about (un)selecting wrong items.

If the last point is nothing to worry about, you can set mouse modifier for Marquee toggle item selection. That would do what you want both ways around or set as a separate modifier action?

ctrl+left click does one at a time (i work with thousands of items)

It is a Marquee toggle item selection. You have already marquee selected items, some of which you now want to marquee unselect, correct? So you use that one to marquee items whose selection will thus get toggled (iow, get unselected).

No, obviously marquee toggle wouldn't work with that kind of single selection. Nothing else would but marquee unselect.

That unselects everything, we want to unselect only parts of the selection without disturbing the rest.
