On Windows, the behaviour is:

SHIFT+click -- extend current selection
CTRL+click -- add to current selection.

for rubberbanding:
SHIFT+rubberband -- add items to current selection
CTRL+rubberband -- add items to current selection,
removing reselected items (in other words, toggle
selection status)

OS X is pretty much the same.

I'm sure I raised this matter on this list before, as
I was proposing that applications that deal with
continuous material (eg a bitmap) should have
different guidelines for rubberbanding modifiers.
