When a curve is selected with the shape tool we can marquee select several nodes. Would be nice if we could use the shape tool to marquee select a number of shapes and/or select anything touched whether or not a curve is selected or not.
using the shape tool, right-click on the desktop to run such a macro
I've already created a way to deselect all shapes while using the shape tool and added the macro to the right-click options.
Another would be a way to deselect shapes while using the shape tool. i.e. right-click run a macro that allows a getclick, choose the shape to deselect and done.
Thoughts
CorelDraw has a standard feature for selecting multiple shapes. Just press Alt and draw a rectangle to select touched shapes.
That's using the Pick Tool. Can't do it with the Shape Tool.
how about this way: in Shape tool press Space - Alt+select shapes - press Space again to return to Shape tool
Nice! I tried every key combo except that one.
Hmmm, you can only marquee select over the entire shapes. The macro allows anything touched to be selected.
