Add an intlligent select all feature

[Mark_Yedinak]

Create a shortcut or a series of shortcuts to all a "Select All" on specific types of elements on the block diagram. For example, "Select All Controls", "Select all Containing Structures" or "Select all wires within area". You can do and select and drag now but often this selects other items within the selection area. This is simply a shortcut for selecting multiple items and allow some level of filtering on the selection.

Yes, it is but I am suggesting some additional features. My bad for not searching.

I like the idea, but I feel like this would be a good editor plugin developed by community members

I agree with Mr. Mike, and modified one of my QD shortcuts to do the job. I can not attach VIs here, so it is located in the LV forum:
