• Hold ⇧ Shift while clicking on a handle to add it to the current selection.
• Hold Control while clicking on a handle to toggle the selection on and off without affecting the selection status of the other handles.

By group

• Hold ⇧ Shift while dragging a rectangle around a group of handles to select them as well as the currently selected handles. You can repeat the operation, the new selected handles will be added to current selection.
• Hold Ctrl while dragging a rectangle around a group of handles to toggle them and keep the rest. You can repeat the operation.
