Toggle selection behavior from multiple to regular Single select

I would like the ability to change the selection of items behavior. I personally find the multiple selection behaviour unintuitive, frustrating and wastes a lot of time.
In almost every other computer program, the default selection of items behaviour is to select individual items until you hold the ctrl or shift key (with some minor differences in certain views).
I get that OnShape has it's own way of doing things, but I feel that those things that are different from the default behavior of most programs or even the operating system, those should be something you can change to standard behaviour, just as you made the different mouse controls user selectable.

We don't care if it is onshape standard. You can justify it however you want but it's bad design. It is the inverse of the vast majority of other software and for those of us who have to work in any other program throughout the course of the day it simply sucks. Most especially for those of us using different 3D modeling software.
You have a lot of users who don't care about consistency between different device types. Furthermore, with any model that has a long tree, it is simply too easy to leave something selected by accident.
Your desire to save money with your engineering team makes life hard for the rest of us. Listen to your users.
What I can say is there are a couple things which make it tolerable:
