Yeah, I know, hence the preemptive 'should have asked 7 yrs ago', but you just *had* to rub it in, didn't you, you bastard!

Doesn't really seem much of a convenient workaround, tbh;
Just clicking the icon is faster, although I can see how not having to navigate to the icon, but doing the clicks where you are instead works better.
Have to experiment with that.

You can also add shortcuts to functions (like select inside and select touching) in c:\documents and settings\[user]\Application Data\RadiantSettings\1.5.0\commandlist.txt. Make the file read only or it will reset the next time you start Radiant.
See, that's the sort of answer I was hoping for.
Problem with that is that it probably won't apply to CoD4-Radiant, which I'm currently working with, but I'll investigate.
Thanks.
