No, because the function is executed by the inset that contains the cursor, so that the cursor is set there. This is a general behaviour, but a bit delicate to change. >> - we need a marker to indicate activity status of branches. I thought >> about using dingbats.

I am open to suggestions, but the dingbats I put is are a good indication IMO. Relying to color in an interface is known to be bad (especially for the not-so-low number of colorblind users). >> - when selecting a branch, we should run 'inset-toggle assign' on the >> document to close relevant branches. > > ?? Currently, the branches reflect their new status, but inactive branches do not get closed as they do when using the dialog.

Probably not. JMarc
