Feature Request: show gene label only for genes creating clusters #61

Great job with a tool, it's very nice and handy!

Would you consider adding an option to show gene labels just for genes that actually created clusters?

In case of a couple of short sequences this can be handled by removing label when editing single genes, however when you compare (multiple) sequences with ~50 genes and want to see whether there are differences in annotations among genes in clusters then it all overlays and merges into one and therefore is hard to read. Then the option is to export SVG and remove text elements in graphical program to keep those of interest.

Here's an example: image

Additionally or alternatively, there could be an option to (i) show label for a single gene, (ii) show label for genes from a group/cluster when clicking on genes.

Thank you for considering this enhancement!
