I think that the enhancement is reasonable. Thank you for reporting it. CCing uireviews, please check the changes. Left-click selects/deselects single category, right-click toggles "only this category enabled"/"only this category disabled, others enabled". I like the proposed changes, but I'm somewhat skeptical about the right-click interaction. That doesn't seem to be very discoverable, nor do I know if it's a standard behavior that users would expect to see. Are there other UI examples that use this convention?

I implemented the right-click just because it was requested and it could be useful for a few users. It can be noted in help or in some blogs. I agree that majority of users will not discover it, but they won't probably need it. Do you think the right-click should be removed, or can we leave it there for the minority of users that discover it and that find it useful? Or would adding some tooltip help? > Are there other UI examples that use this convention? I'm not aware of any examples of this convention. I think it's fine to leave it in there, and if we can add a tooltip that reads "Right-click to de-select all other categories", that would be great for discoverability's sake.
