Keyboard Shortcut to Switch Between "Add To Selection" and "Subtract From Selection"?

[TripleYoThreat]

Hi, how are you today? Hope you're doing well.

As the title reads, I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut to switch between these. It would speed up my background removal process greatly.

Thanks in advance!!

With all of the selection tools, "shift" adds to the selection and "option" subtracts from the selection.

Just to add to what IamSam has said, another shortcut is the "Alt" key - this provide the opposite to what you have selected in the tool bar. So for example if you have "Add to Selection" in the tool bar it will change to "Subtract from Selection" but only while you have the "Alt" key held down. This, I find, particularly useful with the Auto-select method of selection. The cursor will change when you press "Alt" to show if clicking will add to or subtract from the current selection.

Cheers

Is there anyway to map this to a mouse button? I have a gaming mouse and I want one of the buttons to be the subtract lasso, instead of using the alt key.
