This feature is when you select a piece, you see a yellow square around it so you'll know which one you've selected.

When I edit a level, sometimes I end up pressing the toggle on/off highlight yellow squares hotkey by accident, but I don't even know which one it is. When I do this, it's as if I have triggered a glitch in the editor, and the only way around that is to close the editor, and open it again. Eventually, I found out the hotkey, is "H".

It doesn't make sense to have a feature to turn on/off the yellow highlight squares. When creating a level, it is always useful to know which piece you have selected! So that hotkey should be removed.

Have level designer's block right now? Have some of my incomplete levels for LOTS of ideas!

lol, wow. I never knew this existed. I'm a bit surprised because once I tried pressing every key and doing all kinds of dumb things when trying to figure out the stupid dock panel/hotkey glitch.

Maybe I'll have to tinker around some more with hotkeys and such. There's clearly a TON of things put into the editor years ago that are not intuitive.

I'm okay with removing that too- don't see any use for it

Even I didn't know there was such a thing. And I absolutely agree that it serves no purpose; the only thing I can think of is that EricLang might've put it there for testing purposes. I'll get rid of it.
