Similar to the Path2D enhancement, this adds multi/box selection & manipulation for polygon points.
That's the only noteable addition in this case since handles don't apply to polygons, and colored selection was already a thing.

Ctrl+click will select multiple, or drag/box select. Holding Shift will additively box select.
The AbstractPolygon2DEditor class exposes this on any 2D polygon, I believe, so it can be tested on CollisionPolygon2D, NavigationPolygon or LightOccluder2D (or other 2D polygons if there are any I'm not aware of).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added multi-vertex selection in the 2D polygon editor.
    • Ctrl-click toggles individual vertices without canceling the current action.
    • Shift-click and drag enables box selection, with additive selection support.
    • Selected vertices can be moved together and deleted in one action.
    • Selection highlights and drag previews now reflect all selected vertices.

Walkthrough

The polygon editor now supports multi-vertex selection. Users can select vertices with Ctrl-click or box selection, move selected vertices together, and delete them together. Selection state remains synchronized when points or polygons change.

Changes

Polygon vertex selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Selection state and helpers
editor/scene/2d/abstract_polygon_2d_editor.h, editor/scene/2d/abstract_polygon_2d_editor.cpp
The editor adds hashed vertex keys, selected-vertex state, box-selection state, selection helpers, and selection reset behavior.
Selection and grouped movement
editor/scene/2d/abstract_polygon_2d_editor.cpp
Ctrl-click toggles vertices, Shift-drag selects a box, selected vertices receive overlay highlighting, and dragging applies one delta to all selected vertices.
Deletion and index maintenance
editor/scene/2d/abstract_polygon_2d_editor.cpp
Delete and Backspace remove selected vertices in one undo action. Point removal updates remaining vertex indices and can remove the whole polygon when required.

Ctrl-deselecting the last selected vertex can leave it highlighted and allow Delete to remove it, but the issue is localized and undoable.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clear the active point when Ctrl-click removes it.

This branch removes closest from selected_points but leaves selected_point unchanged. After the cursor leaves the point, the editor still treats the removed vertex as active and can highlight or delete it.

Reset selected_point when it equals closest.
