Lasso Mode: Custom

This mode will play an action every time a selection is made. This could be used to create custom modes. For example, filling the selected area with a specific texture:

To use this mode, first select the Action Set that contains the Actions you want to use from the Modes Settings... window in the Flyout Menu. After that Actions will be availabe in that window or in the Quick Options menu. Clicking with the Left or Right mouse button on the mode button itself also will cycle forward/backward through the actions of the selected set.

If there’s an action with the _clear suffix in it’s name, it’s going to be played when Clear is used (Clear Mode set on the panel or Ctrl/Cmd hold before finishing selection): this way a custom clear function is possible.

LD can also provide some info that can be used in scripts, check the API section for more info.
