Short description of error
When you try to select with Shift + Left Click and CTRL + Left Click in the View Layer and the channels in the Timeline you see they don't select it the same way.
View Layer:
Shift + Left Click: Selects from current selection up to the new clicked in between
CTRL + Left Click: Adds single clicked object to your current selection
Timeline:
Shift + Left Click: Adds single clicked object to your current selection
CTRL + Left Click: Does nothing

Try to Shift + Left Click and CTRL + Left Click the channels in the Timeline and it either doesn't work code wise like in the View Layer or it is just not implemented

Thanks for the report, but this doesn't really seem like a bug really. It's more of a design issue.
For user requests and feedback, we have other channels: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Communication/Contact#User_Feedback_and_Requests
Therefore this report should be closed.
But I'll let the #animation_rigging team decide what to do here.

Doesn't it depend whether it is a bug or a design issue if it somebody did implement it but it doesn't work as intended?
I am not sure what it was.
If it's a design issue, I will post it to the forums.
