Remove Selection

When you make a selection with the Object Selection Tool, a white highlighted section appears. Is there any way to remove that by clicking within that selection as opposed to having to click outside of that selection?

Furthermore, is there a way with a modifier for the Object Selection tool to appear within that highlighted selection so as to deselect for example automation points that you didn’t want selected?

I assume you are talking about automation lanes?

I don’t think that there is a possibility to deselect with clicking inside the selected area. If you really don’t want to click, you could switch to the range selection tool and back with a key command, that does deselect all automation points.

Deselecting single automation points is done with shift-click.

The white area is the area of the Automation Event Editor.

It can only be cleared by clicking outside of it or by using the Select None command. I’ve assigned Select None (default Ctrl+Shift+A) to the Esc key and that works well for me.
