Selecting Multiple Thoughts

I've noticed a lot of questions coming into our Support Mailbox about how to mass select groups of thoughts, so I'd thought I'd share some tips on my blog today.


Selecting Multiple Thoughts


You can select multiple Thoughts and then apply actions—link, unlink, delete, set Thought type, and other actions you would apply to an individual Thought—to the selected Thoughts en masse (yes, I'm feeling French today). When multiple Thoughts are selected they are listed in a selection box on the left side of the Plex and they are highlighted in the Plex itself.




To select Thoughts:

• Hold down the Ctrl key as you click a Thought.
• Hold down the Ctrl key as you click a gate to select all the Thoughts connected to that gate.

To de-select Thoughts:

• Click the close button at the top right of the selection box to de-select all selected thoughts.
• Hold down the Ctrl key as you click a Thought (either in the Plex or in the selection box) to de-select just that Thought.

To perform actions on selected Thoughts:

• Right-click in the selection box and select the action of your choice on the context menu. The entries in this menu are also displayed in the Edit menu.

Selection box options allow you to make numerous different changes to large groups of Thoughts at one time. Try it out! A great tool for LARGE BRAINS ;)
