Make triple-clicking a shortcut for "Show Only This ..."

Can clicking (or maybe some other easy action) on the name of memo list, please have the effect of ticking just that memo list? Currently, what I do exceedingly often (in both memos and tasks) is to select a List -> right-click on it -> select "show only this memo list" from the context menu. It might be easier if this could be done by left-clicking on the name of a memo list (after all, this is how both the "Mail" and "Contacts" views work, as selecting a folder/category in those views immediately shows only the list of items in that folder/category). Selecting multiple lists could still be done by clicking on the tickbox (rather than clicking on the name of the list).
I think that would be far too easy to trigger by accident. I know from my own habits that when I want to bring up the popup menu for one of those items, I tend to first left click on it to select it and then right click. Perhaps we could tie "show only this <whatever>" to a triple-click, similar to selecting a line of text.
I implemented the triple-click behavior to try it out, with the intent of deferring it to 2.31.1. But holy crap is it convenient! I like it so well I'm going to squeeze it in for 2.29.2. http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/commit/?id=7f0a162b9c8a751977f01dfaef7d4c70184a24f3 http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/commit/?id=1d88f36d7fd0a5225c3438adb4782618407f320d This also resulted in a nice little code cleanup on the Evo side...
Thank you Matt, that sounds great! Very much looking forward to using this in 2.30+.
