Oh, then I did not pay enough attention. But I have to ask you 
why in hell you described something in detail, when "just like 
currently in 3d views, except using LMB in place of RMB" would 
have been sufficient? :)

I just hope selection with LMB will happen in a not to far away 
update. In the worst case I might learn enough of C and Blender 
codebase to create a patch (just for myself, or anybody who wants 
to have it, but don't wait for this to happen ...).

And all the names would jump around ...

Thanks for your thoughts, Luke. I think there will be an update this 
weekend, so just wait and see :)
