Description
The following bug report has been submitted: Platform: Darwin-18.6.0-x86_64-i386-64bit ChimeraX Version: 0.9 (2019-06-05) Description Hi, not a bug but a (minor) feature request: Would it be possible to make the "right mouse" mode buttons modal, so that the active mode is indicated in the GUI? This would I think provide clearer feedback to the user as to which mode is active at a given time. In this way, for certain modes perhaps clicking the mode a second time to deactivate it could also deactivate the effects of the mode (for example, clicking "clip" a second time could run ~clip)?. I love the "zone" mode by the way - really handy used in conjunction with an EM map! Cheers Oli Log: UCSF ChimeraX version: 0.9 (2019-06-05) © 2016-2019 Regents of the University of California.

The toolbar button that corresponds to the current right mouse mode is highlighted with a light green background.
Unfortunately, due to the toolbar implementation and the ability to stack buttons, the highlighting is limited to altering the icon. We tried using a green outline on the outside edge of the icon, and it works, but it makes the icon "busier" with more edges. So for now, we're sticking with changing the whole backgroud.
