Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • Ctrl/Cmd box selection adds enclosed nodes, while Shift box selection removes previously selected nodes. Nodes outside the selection rectangle retain their existing selection state.
  • Modifier-assisted box selections that select no nodes restore the previous selection; empty-space modifier drags preserve the selection.
  • Ctrl/Cmd-clicking a node preserves the current selection.
  • Ctrl/Cmd interactions suppress node hover indicators and the editable-name cursor.

Walkthrough

The state-machine editor now applies modifier-specific rules to node clicks and box selection. It also suppresses node play and edit hover targets, and the editable-name I-beam cursor, while Ctrl/Cmd is pressed.

Changes

State-machine editor selection

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Box and click selection editor/animation/animation_state_machine_editor.h, editor/animation/animation_state_machine_editor.cpp	The editor tracks whether a box contains items. Ctrl/Cmd adds enclosed nodes, Shift removes previously selected enclosed nodes, and node clicks update selection based on the pressed modifiers. Empty modifier drags restore the previous selection.
Modifier-key hover indicators editor/animation/animation_state_machine_editor.cpp	While Ctrl/Cmd is pressed, the editor does not assign node play or edit hover areas or show the editable-name I-beam cursor.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "Cherry-pick: Improve Node UX" is a short, specific phrase. It names the main change: the changes improve node user experience in the animation state machine editor. The raw summary shows box-selection, click, and hover/cursor changes for nodes, which match the title's scope. The title does not name the editor or the selection behavior, so it is broad. It also uses the "Cherry-pick:" prefix, which describes the source of the change, not its content. It is still related to the main change, so the check passes.

Review comments at @editor/animation/animation_state_machine_editor.cpp:
- Around line 380-381: Update the selection-release logic around
`any_inside_selection` so an empty-space click clears `selected_nodes` only when
no modifier is held; for Ctrl/Cmd or Shift clicks, restore or retain
`previous_selected`.

- Around line 381-384: In the release handler, guard the selected_nodes reset
with any_inside_selection so it only restores previous_selected or clears the
selection when no box-selection update occurred; preserve modifier-click
behavior on empty space without motion.
