Like other visual editing packages, would be good if it was possible to drag and select multiple visuals.

Possibly one of the most frustrating omitted features from the product.

RE: The ability to click and drag to select multiple visuals

please add. for me this would work by being able to make a selection (rectangle) + the possibility to add or remove visuals from the selection by using some key like alt.

also i would like te be able to adjust the position of the selected visuals per pixel by using the arrow keys

'+ the possibility to group the selected visuals so they stay together

Ideally this would work like forms in MS Access. A slight workaround at the moment is to enable the selection pane, then CTRL+Click the objects then move them.

On an app its impossible to select two bars.
So if they add this it will be great help for app users to multi select data. It like Tableau or Qlik feature.

This is a must for creating report visuals. Even Microsoft office has it!
