SublimeText - Unselect last incrementally selected element?

I recently discovered the insanely useful ctrl+D functionality in sublime text. With a careful eye, it's almost as functional for things like renaming as far more sophisticated refactoring tools.

One thing bothers me. As I ctrl+D through my selections, sometimes I've selected 10 items and overshoot by one (eg. into another method). Is there a way to reverse direction and "deselect the last selected item"?

For Mac:

Skip last: cmd+u

Skip current: cmd+k, cmd+d

Unfortunately though, when the "selection loop" reaches bottom of document and starts from the top again - the functionality is lost.

ctrl+u as per sublimetext.com/docs and tested by me.

ctrl+k, ctrl+d will skip the current selection.
