  Not quite. Ctrl is only used for mouse clicks and Shift-RightArrow or 
Ctrl-RightArrow do not affect selection.
  From other hand Shift-Mouse click should work fine if you just check 
if selection is either empty or contain only single node.
  In general it may make sense to allow different modifier for keyboard 
and mouse...

  How can I expand expand collapsed node that has some unfiltered 
elements using keyboard? Now it is expanded and I am unintentionally 
increasing interest on random nodes.

  See above.
