Combine Selection Tools Mode

The Combine Selection Tools mode allows you to combine the Object Selection tool and the Range Selection tool. This is useful in situations where you often switch between these tools.

If you activate Combine Selection Tools on the Project window toolbar and the track height is set to at least 2 rows, the vertical track height of each track is divided into two areas. The mouse pointer changes automatically from Object Selection to Range Selection tool and vice versa according to the track area where you click.

  • If you move the mouse pointer to the upper area of the track, the Range Selection tool is activated, and you can select ranges that are independent from event and part boundaries.

  • If you move the mouse pointer to the lower area of the track, the Object Selection tool is activated, and you can select entire events or parts.

Note

You can also activate/deactivate the Combine Selection Tools mode by pressing Alt-Shift-1.
