I would like to be able to hold down the CNTRL key and then whatever is touching the box that i drag across with my left mouse button is selected without having to drag the box across the whole object.
moving a selected shape with CTRL-key duplicates the selected shape.
Or did I misunderstood you?

Why not use the lasso select?
Alternatively, in the options there's a point that says something like "Select shapes that are partially in the selection box".
I highly doubt that M$FT will improve anything in Visio desktop in the near future (https://www.microsoft.com/en/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Visio%2CDesktop). At best something will appear in version Visio 2525, but we will never know. ;)

There was a branch in our Russian forum: Line selection a-la AutoCAD (https://visio-getbb-ru.translate.goog/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=747&_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru&_x_tr_pto=wapp)

If you do not want to wait long, try the solution proposed in this thread.
