Power multi-selection
Quite often I'd like to change properties for a certain type of control (say all input fields).
Getting to the correct selection is a tedious task, because the "lasso style" selection includes many other controls, so I have to ctrl-click each single control individually.
I propose a feature to reduce the selection to components of a specific type, i.e. a dropdown with one entry for each control type in the current selection.
That way I ctrl-a, ctrl-<shortcut-for-selection-reduction>, select "Text Field" and press enter.
We implemented that feature in a UML tool and it works nicely in practice.</shortcut-for-selection-reduction>
