With one object that Start Global Edit accepts selected with the Selection
tool, the canvas now highlights the other objects a start would take with the
current Global Edit Options, before Global Edit starts. The outlines are kept
per document revision and options, and none are shown during a drag.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Global Edit), docs/gaps.md (G5).
A Shift-press on a highlighted object of the Global Edit waits for the release
to leave it out of the edit. A drag from it now selects it when the drag starts
and moves it with the selection, as a Shift-drag from an unselected object did.
The snap targets are gathered after the object joins the selection.
A match that sits inside a selected object is no longer highlighted, and a
Shift-click on it with the Selection tool deselects that object as before
instead of leaving the match out of the Global Edit.
While Global Edit is on, a Shift-click (not a Shift-drag) with the
Selection tool on a highlighted match, or on an object inside a matched
group, leaves that match out: it is no longer highlighted and later
edits leave it as it is. The object the edit started from stays in, and
Global Edit ends when fewer than two matches are left. Leaving a match
out is not an undo step.
- New command `select.globalEditExclude {id}` returns `{active, count,
ids}`; the Selection tool calls it on the release of a Shift-click.
- `ToolContext::global_edit` gives the tools the Global Edit's objects.
- Label and messages in the i18n catalogs; docs/mcp.md,
docs/ui-parity.md and docs/target-app-parity.md updated.
