Bug Description

Ctrl+ or shift+select currently selects multiple search conditions using the current search type (AND or OR). Changing the search type and then adding an extra condition changes the entire query to either use ANDs or ORs.

Since Alt+Select currently does nothing, I suggest that it could be used to add a search condition in the opposite type.

Thank you.

Sorry, but the internal structure of the tag browser makes this extremely difficult, requiring a reimplementation of tag browser searching. There is no way to remember whether ALT (or anything else was pressed when a node is selected.
