I successfully select group of edges use Alt+RightMouseButton, but when I need highlight one more group of edges and use Shift+Alt+RightMouseButton, the old selection is deleted and the new selection is not highlighted (In theory, it action should save old selection and add new). How i can fix that?

    windows, linux or mac? Are you using the blender default keyset? Any programs that could be messing with the key input? – David Feb 21 '18 at 00:18
  • David, linux, yes, default keyset. No third-party programm, but maybe system shortcut Alt+Shift(change keyboard language) can interrupt – Evgeniy Feb 21 '18 at 00:23

    that OS change keyboard language shortcut sounds very likely to be the issue. Try changing that and see if blender works. – David Feb 21 '18 at 00:24
  • David, you were right, i disabled this system shortcut and blender work normal. But it is very usable shortcut(i use it every time), maybe there is some way to save it and normal blender works? – Evgeniy Feb 21 '18 at 00:32

Assuming it is not an issue with your keyboards shift key or an external program interfering with its function. (Network Mouse Applications usually interfere)

Goto User Preferences -> Input -> 3D View -> 3D View (Global) -> Activate Select Look for the Shift+Alt+Select Mouse Entry. It should have Toggle Selection and Enumerate checked. If it does not exist you have to create it or reset your whole keybindings.

  • Preferences set uped how you describe – Evgeniy Feb 21 '18 at 00:27
  • Than its most likley an external issue. Like a network mouse application, or a shortcut of your desktop. Try googling shift+alt shortcut in combination with your desktop. be it windows or kde or gnome, mate, osx, etc. – Gerald Degeneve Feb 21 '18 at 00:31

I replaced desktop shortcut Alt + Shift to caps lock and Blender hot key worked fine

    Could you elaborate on why do you think this solves the question? – Mr Zak Nov 15 '18 at 21:15
  • I do not really know why this happens, but when i switch on - off the three button emulation, from the user preference menu, that affects the shift+alt+left click command. probably due to disabling tha alt key function. – appa Nov 15 '18 at 23:36
  • hope that is helpful :) – appa Nov 15 '18 at 23:36
