Description
_Not a bug - more like a feature request and question_
**mapbox-gl-js version**: 0.44.2
**mapbox-gl-draw version**: 1.0.9
When trying to select multiple features, it took me longer than I'd have expected to figure out that I needed to shift+click in order to do so (and same with most of my co workers I've asked to try out the draw tool).
#### What I thought would have worked:
- click
- cmd+click
- ctrl+click
Is there a nice way to manually add any of the above options to `simple_select` mode? Just poking around the source code, I haven't found a way to do so.
Thank you in advance!!
(Not sure if there's a dupe for this ticket - sorry if there is!)
