[Qgis-user] Toggle Attribute

[L.W.]

and there are some disadvantages ... first you have to set the layer
active to which the symbol belongs.

there is no "is_" derivat for "get object info" (i-icon with
mouse-pointer), so nothing happened if the feautre attribute-dialog is
shown, the feature is (different) highlighted but not the same way as
"selected" (by the yellow buttons with mouse-pointer).
