#3 multiple widget selection

[monty andro]

It would be nice if a multiple widget selection capability be added so that groups of widgets can be moved at one time on the designer window. As far as I can tell this feature does not currently exist but I could be wrong. (also, the python generator does not add the proper orientation for the horizontal scale widget)

It would be preferable if the Linux version (more specifically making a version for MacOS) that includes popular keyboard shortcuts that use the command key instead of the control key. Also maybe a .app bundle for all, although I've already made one myself.

is this feature added? or still pending?

It is working in the current version (6.1).

Per the documentation...

A limited facility for using multiple selection of widgets has been added to PAGE. The first functions using multiple selection were limited to the Stash and Apply facility and the Attribute Editor. Multiple selection basically creates a list of widgets to be used by the Apply function and the Attribute Editor. With version 5.1 additional functions have been added. They include the ability to move members of the multiple selection set in unison provided that they share the same parent.

Multiple selections are made by selecting widgets with Button-2. This is similar to simple widget selection. When a widget is so selected, the handles are a different color, green, for emphasis. Multiple selections can also be made by selecting widgets in the Widget Tree with Button-2. Multiple selections are mirrored in the Widget Tree. If one selects a complex widget such as a TNotebook widget by placing the cursor inside the widget, the complex widget is selected.
