Oops, my mistake in reading my own notes. SHIFT-click works for both. ALT-click also seems to work in the applet, though not for me with the application - that might be a feature of my window manager, I guess. >> My question: is there any way to ensure that after toggling a label on/off >> using the "set picking select label" it can be restored with the format it >> had prior to toggling off? > > Up until now, whenever a label is turned off it is reset to the standard > label. As I mentioned in replying to Angel, the ability to "remember" an assigned format would be wonderful. Failing that, the ability to specify a different default would be helpful. >> (2) >> At this point, I can store the graphics state, using "show state", and >> run it.

The more I play with what I'm doing (silently invoking different picking modes in an attempt to help the user in different contexts), the more I think it wouldn't be such a good idea to save it with the state!
