Selections

The following !set keywords affect object/cell selections using the pointing device.

SelectTime
Value: integer 100-1000.
When button1 is used for object manipulation and editing, there is a time delay which differentiates a ``click'' from a ``drag''. This delay, which defaults to 250 milliseconds, can be adjusted by setting this variable. If the user encounters difficulty establishing an area select, for example, as opposed to a move/copy operation, then setting a longer time delay may be advantageous.

NoAltSelection
Value: boolean.
When set, the legacy logic is used for mouse click selection operations.
