Hi Philipp,
	As of tomorrow's daily build, Basic Actions will honor the current Select menu mode.

That seems at the moment neither in ChimeraX 0.93 nor in 1.0 the case, but could be an easy way to add  fast a bunch of named selections to the current selection. Also for the subtract/intersect modes that might be an interesting option?

Changing to Menu_Mode:Add in Menu:Select seems not to have any effect on that. I think in Chimera1 named selections still could be added to the current selection using the „append“ selection mode. At the moment adding named selections to the current selection works for me in ChimeraX just with the command line „select add“ command.
