Default is there a key to unselect only a specific surface?

i understand that pressing shift while selecting surfaces allows new surfaces i click on to be added to the currently selected surfaces, but if i have a surface i want to deselect without deselecting all the other currently selected surfaces is there a key for that?

thanks

Hold shift and click MMB (midlle mouse button).
This is how I do it. In my computer, I do not know yours.... Maybe the same.
I believe, the RMB also works... never tried.
(I'm sorry if I misunderstand the question...
Remember to uncheck the "SELECT THROUGH" feature.

Isn't that just the RMB (with Shift held down)? Going from "muscle memory" here, and without access to the program.

It may also be a "toggle"; e.g., if you "select" a surface that's already *been* selected, it deselects.

Don't quote me on any of this... but the answer is a pretty logical one. Experimenting for less than 30 seconds should provide your answer.
