### 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: Description of the trait - displayed only in the Editor, in the piece definer dialog.

Menu Text: 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 Keystroke to 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.
