How do I select multiple components in the NetBeans UI builder on a Mac?

Question

When I am building a gui in NetBeans on a Mac, sometimes I want to select multiple components and move them together, delete them together, copy them together, or whatever. In Windows I would hold down the Ctrl key. On a Mac I usually (for other applications) hold down the Command key. Neither of these works in NetBeans 7.0 on a Mac. Is there a key modifier for selections on Mac in Netbeans?

I'm not sure the name of the gui builder in Netbeans, maybe it is called a ui editor or gui editor. Just thought I'd throw that in for people searching with the term "editor".

When in the "customize layout" frame for the GridBags layout, Ctrl-Alt click will allow multiple selection. But this doesn't work in the main editor.
