selection

The selection is a subset of displayed doodles which are designated as “selected”. Many commands make use of the current selection to make changes to the multiplex graph.

Selected doodles are indicated with a trailing asterisk.

/my/working/directory
   unselected_doodle
   selected_doodle *
   ...
layermask: **default** ...
<noodle>

Selection Mode

To enter selection mode or manipulate the selection with selection subcommands use the select command.

<noodle> select

/my/working/directory
   unselected_doodle
   selected_doodle *
   ...
layermask: **default** ...
You are in SELECTION MODE. Press 'Enter' to finalize selection.
<noodle:select>

In selection mode, the selection can be expanded or cleared and individual doodles can be selected / deselected. Changing the selection has no effect on the multiplex graph directly.

Enter an empty command to exit the selection mode. The extra message can be supressed by setting verbose to false in the config file.

For details on manipulating the selection with selection subcommands see the select command.
