<br>I am more than prepared to update my book and release a second edition to meet a LMB selection. However if we are going to do such a thing i would suggest also changing the Blender Icons, and any other "Major" interface change at the same time, as this would allow for a single documentation update rather than a few.<br><br>For this reason i would agree with Ton, and say wait till 2.5, and really attack the interface in a bigger blow. Give some certainty and solidity to documentation writers.<br><br>Doug<br>

<div dir="ltr">This is the most surprising and disorienting feature for new users. Most people I've talked to do not proceed to online tutorials for help - they simply get confused, give up, and return to familiar territory (LightWave, 3dsmax, Maya). I think it would be better to have the mouse buttons swapped and let the tutorials be for an out-of-date version. The standard on every system I'm very familiar with is that left button selects and drags, and right button brings up a menu of some sort - being different without a compelling reason is something that many users simply find offensive.<br>

</div>Perhaps not this one. Changing this default makes quite a few online<br>
tutorials very disorienting for new users. It may be a bit of my bias<br>
showing, but the other three changes can help without adversely<br>
affecting existing documentation. The case is different here.<br>
