Description Florent Latombe CLA 2016-10-07 07:46:47 EDT 
In Sirius-based diagrams, a single click on an element results in its selection (i.e. it becomes the current "context" for views like Properties, and a visual cue is displayed on the diagram).

So far, this behavior cannot be customized easily, for instance to temporarily change graphical aspects of the selected node. This requires exploiting mechanisms from the underlying Eclipse technologies (GEF/GMF).

It would be nice to have a mechanism, in Sirius .odesign specifications, to define such custom behaviors.

Thanks for your detailed enhancement submit.
We agree that it would be an interesting improvement.
Nevertheless, we have currently not planned to work on it in the following releases.

Rewording because this is not (at least in my understanding) about a particular interaction mode (mouse click), but about how the selection status of an element is visually hightlighted. Selection can occur by other means which do not involve clicking on the element (using the keyboard for example).
