Summary

Add box select, component copy/paste, visibility shortcut, reset transforms, and clearer selection state.

Why

Basic repeated editing should be fast before larger authoring tools are added.

Implementation notes

  • Add box select in viewport using existing picking/proxy resolution rules.
  • Add component copy/paste through reflected or typed component metadata.
  • Add visibility toggle shortcut and reset transform action.
  • Keep hierarchy, inspector, and viewport selection state coherent.

Acceptance criteria

  • Box select handles overlapping/root-icon/proxy targets predictably.
  • Component copy/paste preserves schema-safe authoring data only.
  • Visibility and transform reset actions are undoable.
  • Selection state is clear in viewport, hierarchy, and inspector.

Tests/docs

Selection smoke tests and undo tests for edit actions. Update README controls.

Partially addressed in local commit 19c4d01 (Start M0 editor workflow polish).

Covered:

  • Added selection.reset_transform to the command palette.
  • Reset supports multi-selection with one grouped undo entry.
  • Fixed transform history helper so Inspector transform edits/reset apply immediately and remain undoable.
  • Fixed multi-selection gizmo live feedback so follower objects move during drag, not only after release.

Still remaining for this ticket:

  • Box select.
  • Component copy/paste polish beyond existing component-card behavior.
  • Visibility shortcut.
  • Any broader selection-state UX polish.

Additional partial progress in 19c4d01/2fa6410:

  • Multi-select gizmo movement now applies live to all selected actors rather than only updating peers on release.
  • Added selection.reset_transform command.
  • Viewport/editor hotkeys now defer to egui text-field focus, so typing/search Backspace no longer deletes actors.
  • Viewport shortcuts are scoped to viewport focus and suspended during camera navigation.

Remaining scope still open: box select, component copy/paste shortcut workflow, visibility shortcut, Alt+G/R/S reset shortcuts, and tests.

M0 closeout triage: targeted selection/input bugs were fixed during M0, but the full box-select/component-copy/visibility shortcut package remains broader editor polish. Carrying this to M5.
