Middle click with the wand to reset selection #159

Closed sbrl closed 5 years ago

sbrl commented 6 years ago

Hello,

I've got a suggestion. Could a middle click when holding the wand tool reset the selection?

I've checked the modding API and it doesn't look like it's possible though. If it's not, what about resetting if you use it when pointing at nothing?

I'm willing to write some code & send a PR here, but wanted an opinion before I go ahead :smiley_cat:

That sounds like you'd do it a lot accidentally during normal usage.

Hrm, true. Not sure what other interaction could be bound to it, though. I'd love middle click, but I don't think that the minetest Lua API supports it AFAIKT (though I'm understandably very new to modding, even though I'm not new to programming).

Come to think of it, I might write a separate mod that has a wand with multiple 'modes' to manipulate the selected region.

Consider reopening when engine adds support.

Maybe an upstream tag would help identify such issues?
