Hi!
Is there a way to switch by a script such a state when, for example, while being in "Select and move" mode with selected object, next I pick another object and the mode is automatically changing to just "Select object"?
It is extremely usefull to have such a state switcher because often when you are in "Select and move" with a selected object and pick another object it also by default in "Select and move" mode and as a result some accidental undesirable shifts of object may happen.

Jahman, yes I understand how to install and use a script ))
But maybe I donot understand something.
Anyway please see yourself the script in action:

Jahman Thankyou very much!
But it appears that it does not work - nothing happens.
Applied your code as *.ms or *.mcr by dropping it to viewport

Yes, nothing but two new macro in category 'Jahman' to turn On and Off
Did you try them?
I think having one macro to toggle this mode will be even more convenient.
macroScript autoSelectObjectModeToggle
category:"Jahman"
tooltip:"Auto select object mode toggle"
(
on isChecked do (::handleSelectCallback != undefined)
on execute do (
if ::handleSelectCallback != undefined then (
global handleSelectCallback = undefined
gc light:true
) else (
fn handleSelect ev nd = (
if selection.count > 1 do execute "max select"
)
global handleSelectCallback = NodeEventCallback selectionChanged:handleSelect
)
)
)

Oh, so you need to set this state on any selection change? I didn't understand the task at first
Change selection.count > 1 to selection.count > 0 and run it again to update macros.
Thank you, thank you. thank you!
