SUMMARY
I swapped the Ctrl and Alt buttons. So when i hold Ctrl, it is remove selection. But its still acts like the polyline tool while I'm holding the key.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go into general setting and swap Ctrl and Alt functions
2. The select tool will still work as poly line when holding Ctrl like it did before the buttons were swapped
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
General funkyness

EXPECTED RESULT
For Alt to work as the polyline tool instead of Ctrl

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 4.4.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Thanks for your time lads

I can confirm this and it's common across all versions including the 4.4.5 and the July 13 5.0.0-prealpha (git f5040d8)

@lilianjaye: Please update to version 4.4.5 for any future bug reports.
I've edited the report title to make it more 'technical'.

This was initially discussed here:
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=139&t=171867

The 'pre-click' selection modifiers are swapped over but the 'post-click' Ctrl modifier (polyline action) for Freehand Selection is not swapped over. It also had the effect of forcing a Subtract selection, which is the swapped pre-click action.

When swapped is enabled and a rectangular or elliptical selection is made, Ctrl as a post-click modifier has its usual 'centering' action and does not force a Subtract selection.

This is inconsistent and confusing.
