Similar to the other Microsoft products, it'd be great if we could click and drag the mouse to select multiple object on a page. Then, once multiple are selected, allow us to nudge them with the arrow keys all at the same time. Right now, we have to click one at a time and nudge one at a time. Oftentimes, I have many items I've already spent time aligning and then I need to nudge them and I have to do it one at a time.

Additionally when dragging multiple objects, please enable guiding lines for alignment with other objects. It is also needed to move multiple selected objects with arrow keys.
In summary, we need all visual handling features the same as PowerPoint

WOuld like to have a SELECT ALL on a page for objects or draw an area (like PowerPoint) and select all the objects within that area.

Adding to this concept, when multiple visuals selected allowing snap to grid to still function when moving the selected visuals
