But regardless of what we want boolean indexing with `[]` to do, this would certainly be welcome functionality and should exist in a dedicated method. `ds[key]` is already very heavily overloaded in Xarray, so a more explicit option is nice to have, e.g., for the benefit of readability and static type checking. For the same reason, I would rather not put it inside `isel()` which already integer based indexing with a different call signature. My tentative suggestion is to call this new method `sel_mask()`, since that's what it does -- selection like `sel`/`isel` except based on a mask.","{""total_count"": 2, ""+1"": 2, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,860418546 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/5179#issuecomment-823674011,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/5179,823674011,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDgyMzY3NDAxMQ==,1217238,2021-04-20T23:51:46Z,2021-04-20T23:51:46Z,MEMBER,I wonder if this is just a better proposal than making N-dimensional boolean indexing an alias for `where`: https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/1887#issuecomment-823673654,"{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,860418546
