<div class="moz-cite-prefix">+1 for leaving both visible options,
but defaulting to rectangle.<br>
If the underlying code is different, then even at the expense of
the extra code required to compute that you have a null-sized
rectangle (ie a point click), you might want to use the same code.<br>
<br>
But, especially for a newbie, it will not be intuitive that by
clicking without dragging, the rectangle select will do a
point-click select.<br>
<br>
I feel the developers must always put the user before the code
simplification.<br>
This because the programmer makes a once-off (big) effort, but
there may be "millions" of users that suffer if the coder
simplifies the coding effort at the expense of user intuitive
experience.<br>

selection tool to rectangle? One of the first thing I
personally always do when using a fresh qgis (with
default settings) is to change selection tool to
rectangle for the reason Nathan raised this thread.</p>
