  71.       When using the lasso to select an object, some parts of the object
  72.       and its proximity may be incorrectly either selected or not
  73.       selected. You can correct these defects by pressing the
  74.       <span class="keycap"><strong>Shift</strong></span> or <span class="keycap"><strong>Ctrl</strong></span> keys while using
  75.       the lasso. Here is how to do it: While pressing
  76.       <span class="keycap"><strong>Shift</strong></span>, draw the new border with the lasso and
  77.       close the selection, including a part of the first selection. As
  78.       soon as you release the mouse button, both selections are added
  79.       together. You could subtract the extra part of the first selection
  80.       in a similar way by pressing <span class="keycap"><strong>Ctrl</strong></span>.
