How to subset columns by point & click via Columns Manager?

Since Columns Viewer will be removed in JMP 19 and I found the subset functionality very useful, I am wondering whether JMP 19 will permit the same via Columns Manager. For now, subsetting of columns is; I think; the only reason why I'm using the Columns Viewer. In JMP 18, however, I get a big fat warning to use the Columns Manager.

Alright, I get it but I can't see that the columns manager has this capability (documentation: About the Columns Manager). I think this may be a case for creating an add-in - that is, if one doesn't exist already.

In the Column Manager, the subsetting is accomplished by going to the Tables pull down menu and selecting Subset

When using JMP I suggest creating few shortcuts and one of them is quick subset. Basically it will create a subset (linked if you wish) based on selected rows and columns and if no selections are done, it will just create a subset with all rows and columns.

I have also created this but it hasn't been updated in a long time and it seems to be either wrong version in community or something is broken with JMP18 as it doesn't have the buttons on right side...
