This seems to be by design, and very old, it allows any modes except transform:

godot/editor/plugins/node_3d_editor_plugin.cpp

Lines 1662 to 1671 in f427d2f

	if (_edit.mode == TRANSFORM_NONE && b->is_pressed()) {
	if (b->is_alt_pressed()) {
	if (nav_scheme == NAVIGATION_MAYA) {
	break;
	}
	_list_select(b);
	return;
	}
	}

I couldn't find it documented anywhere (besides the code being what it is). It also doesn't match 2D behavior or what the tooltips say.

[AThousandShips]

Sure but people are likely using it despite the lack of a tooltip, and despite the inconsistency, I think the tooltips should be fixed to match the behaviour, not the other way around, to not disrupt workflows

[ryevdokimov]

Hmm, after playing around with it just now I actually agree. Personally, I think you should always be always to select other things such as in the draft I made that I linked above, but that's a different topic.
