[Bf-compositor] LMB / RMB node select

[Sean Kennedy]

I really like the RMB select box, but if it was removed so RMB could be something else, or something more consistent with the rest of Blender's UI, I'd survive.

Personally I'd choose to drop RMB drag for box selection to allow it for something else (like connecting a link and shifting the connections when you replace a link like it used to, for example)


I can understand that it might be nice and quick to do a box selection with RMB drag, but it is inconsistent and I only noticed it very recently too - though I haven't yet used it simply because it's such a habit to use B for box selection.

I noticed quite a few changes lately in "selecting area".

I didn't know that RMB drag works as "Border Select" now.



The question is:

Are we going to treat compositor like something completely separate from rest of blender and not care about inconsistency of tools' behavior?

Or we should care about it and have only B for border select, only RMB for select?
