When we press W to come back to select box tool, sometimes we press it twice or maybe we are already in select box tool, the problem arises when we enable x-ray selection tool as it clutter the W menu (select Box) so Please add an option to disable the X-ray tools in W menu (Select Box). however we can use B key for X-ray selection.

There is already an option for this in the add-on preferences: "Group with built-in selection tools." If you disable it, the add-on tools will be removed from the built-in selection tool group in the W menu.
