In Blender, we can select and deselect objects by using below hotkeys.
To Select an object
– Click the arrow next to the Select command, and select the mode from the list.
– Select the object in the graphics window. To select multiple objects, SHIFT-Left-click unselected objects to add them to the selection set.
To Deselect an object
– After select an object, SHIFT-Left-click the selected object to deselect object.
To Cancel Selection
– Either left-click or SHIFT-Left-click anywhere in the graphics window, but not on an object.
To Remove Selection
Either SHIFT-Left-click previously selected objects. All other objects are unaffected.
Select Multiple Objects in a Window
– Position the pointer slightly above and to the left of the left-most object to select.
– Click and drag the pointer slightly below and to the right of the right-most object to select.
All objects that are enclosed within the rectangle are selected and highlighted.
