### Deselect

A Game Piece with this trait will have a command that causes the piece to be removed from any player selection (currently selected pieces, drag-selection, drag-and-drop grouping, etc.)

Description: A short description of this trait for your own reference. Menu Command: Menu text for the Deselect command for the right-click context menu. If left blank then no menu item will be displayed but the Key Command can still be used. Key command: Keystroke or Named Command that will cause the piece to become deselected. Remove piece from stack: If checked, then when this trait is activated the piece will also be removed from any Stack it is a part of. This can be useful in games that involve "dropping off and picking up" units from armies, because a Place Marker trait will normally add the new marker to the current stack. Deselection type: Choose whether you wish to deselect this piece, deselect all pieces, or select only this piece. | Deselect this piece without removing it from its Stack when the Deselect menu command is selected, on receipt of the Ctrl+K Keystroke Command.
