§4 Selecting

This section describes the selection commands, including the Select submenu of the Edit menu.

Selecting by hand

Click a room or connection to select it, replacing any previous selection. Hold Ctrl and click to add an item to the selection, or remove it again. Dragging a box across the empty canvas selects everything inside it; hold Shift or Ctrl while dragging the box to add the enclosed items to the current selection instead of replacing it. Select All (Ctrl+A) selects everything, and Select None (Esc) clears the selection. Pressing 0 selects the start room, and Enter opens the selected element's properties (see §13).

Find Room... (Ctrl+F) locates a room by name, then selects it and centers the view on it.

The Select submenu

The Select submenu lets you select rooms or connections that share a property. For rooms: Unconnected Rooms, Rooms With Objects, Rooms Without Objects, and Rooms in Selected Regions (Ctrl+Shift+A), which widens the selection to every room in the same region as any room already selected. For connections: All Connections, Dangling Connections, and Self-Looping Connections.
