Why does this need to be configurable? Deselection the previous action
and not selecting any new one instead looks like a bug, not a feature.
Did you make it configurable "just in case", or is there a real use case for this?

We need "set this one as current" and "set none as current".
Why do we need "setCurrentAction(0,LetSelectedMode)" which does -nothing-
and setCurrentAction(unrelatedAction,DeselectMode) which has the effect of unchecking the current action (!)
and setCurrentAction(unrelatedAction,LetSelectedMode) which, well, does nothing too.
Either I'm missing something, or this would be a very confusing API.

setCurrentAction(unrelatedAction) should do nothing IMHO, and that's it.
