Delete Branch "%!s(<nil>)"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Based on #114702
Regression
This task is due to a recent regression. It was possible to use
Shift LMBin weight paint mode to select multiple bones. This can have multiple uses.As of right now in Left Click Select and when using 3 Mouse Button Emulation, it is no longer possible to do this.
Due to the redesign of the keymap of 4.0 in this area it's not the best idea to force this shortcut back into the keymap. There aren't enough modifier keys available to make it accessible to everyone.
Most/all keymap combinations are taken.
Solution
Weight paint mode needs to expose the Selection Tools in the Toolbar if an armature is used and can be selected.
Currently this is only the case while any of the selection modes in the header are enabled.
The purpose of exposing these tools is to offer users the full set of selection shortcuts anytime. This can also be accessed by pressing the shortcut
W.Just realizing this also breaks the "Weight Paint Sample Group" pop-up that is activated when Shift+LMB clicking on the mesh in weight paint mode (when using Right Click Select).

Is there a known workaround?
EDIT
Disregard as @JulienKaspar pointed out that this has been migrated over to Shift + Ctrl + X
Proposal (attached)
Perhaps the "Weight Paint Sample Group" popup is pretty critical could be added to the W key popup?
i second this. overall selecting bones or weights on screen while weight painting has always been somewhat of a workaround that required you to unlock object modes and set the selection relation between the armature and the mesh. sometimes this relation would break and you would have to get out of weight paint and set it up again. Having a selection tool accessed with W just like in object or edit mode would also fit with the rest of blender.
having this tool would also free some of the shortcuts that we already used for it, leaving it for more important options in the future
@JerBot That shortcut move to
Ctrl Shift X. Color & Weight related operators like sampling, filling, etc are now all related toX.@JulienKaspar , and there it is... in your original keymap merge request... staring at me in the face. My apologies!!!
