This brings me to some other point though: Hasn't any one ever thought of using the tab key to cycle through the items which are to be selected? Now we can use left-click and alt-left-click to select an item on the canvas, but this is still tricky when there are many overlapping items. Modern 3D CAD programs show a list of all available items near the mouse pointer when left-clicking, through which the user can cycle with the tab key, including highlighting on canvas! Now wouldn't that be cool too?
I don't really think "cool" will be the applicable to a situation where you click and then have to select something from a list, instead of immediate action :)
But if anyone wants to implement that, let's discuss the details. Of course it should be optional, for most people and drawings click and alt-click works just fine.
