I think you're thinking of something different than I was. I was
imagining that if the key was held down, then the arrows would appears
as they currently do and if the key was not help down, then they would
not appear.

I'm not quite getting what you have in mind. Are you thinking that if
you move onto the arrow with the key held down and then you move off
again, then arrows stay? Without having to right-click and "tack" the
arrows? If so, how do you imagine the arrows would go away?
