Selecting multiple front panel objects with shortcut key combination e.g. mouse + Ctrl key ...

Status: Already Implemented
Press and hold Shift and press left mouse button on specific items to select

Hi,

 

Currently we need to drag mouse on all objects which we need to select for changing alignment or moving to other place.

Is there any option or keyboard shortcut to select multiple objects on front panel?

If not it will be great if we get such option

Here are three ways to select items:

 

> Use Ctrl+A to select everything on the FP.

> Press and hold the left mouse button, drag over multiple items.

> Press and hold Shift and press left mouse button on specific items to select.

Thank you @ PNR

I was looking for 3rd option you provided 🙂

You can also use shift+drag to toggle selection of many items at once.
