Analogous to https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=851279 I believe web browsers should implement multiple ranges which does exist on Firefox for many years.
Steps to reproduce:
Select a range of text, try to select another range of text with Ctrl (See https://github.com/yoichio/public-documents/blob/master/multiranges.md also)
Expected:
Like Firefox
Actual:
Multiple text selection doesn't work.

Google is interested on that https://github.com/w3c/selection-api/issues/41#issuecomment-343060585 and Firefox already has it.

This requires a major re-architecturing of our editing code. As much as we should do this, I don't think it'd happen in practice :(
