Stuck in Editing Layers

agrtga

I've gotten used to the fact that when I want to edit something I select the tool (such as Erase) and it says to select the entities and I can draw a selection box. Unfortunately, somehow I got stuck in a different mode. Now, it says Layer name [dialog] and a changes affects all the entities on that layer. I need to get back to the prior method. How do I do that?

Thank you!

Was it something I did? I'd like to avoid it in the future if possible.

It might have been something you did, but more likely, it was the result of a macro being aborted/crashed before it could clean up after itself.
For reference, you can also set these options from the main options dialog -> Select method button.
