See http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/select-feature.html

The key part seems to be

select: new OpenLayers.Control.SelectFeature(
                    vectors,
                    {
                        clickout: false, toggle: false,
                        multiple: false, hover: false,
                        toggleKey: "ctrlKey", // ctrl key removes from selection
                        multipleKey: "shiftKey", // shift key adds to selection
                        box: true
                    }
                ),
