Double click to remove brush

[jay2452]

Is there any way to disable single click to remove brush selection. Instead, the brush selection should be removed by double click event listener only.

Sure, here’s a way:

Note that the brush isn’t cleared on click; it’s cleared on mousedown when you click outside of the brush selection. This needs to be the case so that any subsequent movement creates a new brush selection anchored at the mousedown location. If you waited to clear the brush until the mouse moved, the usability in the case of dragging a selection would be worse. Hence, in the above solution I require the Command key to drag a new brush.
