I hold Shift and nothing happens, I think these searches are not made for mac. Thank you
What thar doesn't tell is that you have to "commit" the first selection by striking [Enter] or by double-clicking inside. Otherwise the "shift" key is understood as a modifier for the first selection tool use (and doesn't do anything in many tools).
You can also force the Add/Subtrac/Intersect mode of the tool in the Tool options (but using keyboard modifiers is more practical)
