Hi Danny,

Well, actually it was partly from a discussion with you back a while ago asking to have a selection indicator. It seems to make sense to make the indicator also be the place to trigger the selection action as well - that makes it resemble how clicking on the eye works for showing and also toggling visibility. Then it also frees up clicking on the name for something else.

Yeah I want to make a menu pop up with some additional stuff on it. Like for example things like "Delete" for styles, or "Assign selection to this name" for named objects can then go on that menu.

That's probably due to the habit of how V2 was set up. Hopefully it won't take too much longer to adapt to the new method. Let me know if it still doesn't feel very good after a few more sessions of using it.
