Add part to part list (left mouse button and CTRL key)

If you left-click a part while simultaneously pressing the CTRL key, the part becomes part of a 2-D part list and is highlighted in colour accordingly (including its sub-parts). If the part was already part of the part list, it is removed from the part list and the coloured highlighting cancelled.

Add range to part list (left mouse button and SHIFT key)

If you left-click a part while simultaneously pressing the SHIFT key, the range between the "selected" and the clicked part is added to or removed from the part list, depending on whether the parts were already in the list or not. If a part list was not yet active, then a new part list is created in this way.
