Consistent Box Select Tool across the app
Hi, Blenderheads. I'd like to propose consistent box selection tool behavior across the whole UI. New behavior implemented in 2.8 ( with CTRL to deselect) can be translated on the original box select tool. And instead of using middle mouse button to deselect everywhere and everything one can use new-fashioned CTRL modifier.

I'm not really sure what you're asking for here- box selection is already consistent across all editor areas.
* @testure * I mean box selection tool in tools panel deselects objects with CTRL key, box selection invoked by "B" key deselects objects with middle mouse button. Different implementations of the same tool in the same use case.
* @endymion73 * Box selection with the B key is the legacy implementation targeted at long-time users of blender. The new box selection is designed to be more in line with the industry standard- unifying them would defeat the purpose of either adding the new method or keeping the old version. Lucky for you, the modal keymaps of both are easily modifiable, so if it bothers you it's something you can fix on your machine without interrupting the workflow of anyone else
* @testure * With all respect in 2.8 were changed many shortcuts without a thought about interrupting someone worklflow. There isn't even a tool tip for middle mouse button on new hint panel. I've pointed out a feature that, in my opinion, could be changed and could make Blender a little bit more user friendly.
