How to choose nodes?

let’s say I have 2 parallel curves that are close to each other… I would like to select the nodes of one of the 2 curves without also taking the nodes of the other.
how do I do it?
if I box the nodes I also intercept the nodes of the other curve and I haven’t found a button to select or exclude individual nodes so as to form a group that I can move all together without moving near parts that I don’t want to touch.
I simulated a situation where by squaring some nodes I take one that I would like to exclude from the group, please can you tell me how to do it?

      At MAC it is the command button “CMD”+mouse click on the specific node to deselect it

          : on windows i cant find a button that allows me to select and deselect a single node. i can select a set of nodes by making a box but i cant find any button that allows me to deselect or add a node to the selected group. I thought that by pressing ctrl + mouse on a node I could exclude/include it, but it doesn’t work. sometimes i select a group of nodes and move them all together but i can do it only if there are no other nodes that i don’t want to move. in the screenshot i roughly drew an example in which with the box you can’t avoid also taking a node that i would like to understand if it can be deselected individually.

        I tried every key combination I could think of and was not able to deselect a node once it’s been selected. I looked in the docs and there is no mention of this function either.
What you can do though is select a node(s) and hold shift and click to add nodes to the selection.

            : I’ve just tested it on my Linux Ubuntu computer, here I don’t have the option to deselect single nodes either, so it’s only a Mac OS option, strange…

            : using shift I can only select individual nodes but I can’t deselect them, it would be enough if shift worked both to turn them on and off. in this way by framing various nodes in a box I could choose to deselect the ones I don’t want to move.

            : Holding the shift key while clicking adds to the selection. Currently, there is no combo-key(s) to deselect a node.
