Actually thinking of the alternative to highlight all single tags which are currently viewed seems to be a considerable idea I haven't thought of this yet. (It would correlate with providing some way you described above, but I know a more simple way, just define right clicking a tag as 'view `wmiir read /def/ws`+$1'. The only necessary change would be that my ~ prefix in tag labels should be removed and the user has to remember which layer he has selected. Would this be ok? Regards, -- Anselm R.
