Normally I have it on so I can manipulate individual controls. Then I
have to toggle it when I want to:
edit the group's script
paste a control into the group
move the entire group
re-layer objects in the group
This is sufficient for me to like having in the toolbar so that I can
toggle it quickly AND get visual feedback to tell me which mode I am
currently in.
The docs show a shortcut for temporary toggling (Cmd-click or
Cntl-click) but this doesn't work - at least not on my system (Mac OS X
10.3.2).
Cheers,
Sarah
