Looking for Select All for Layout Objects to Style

[Janet Tokerud]

One of the things that you need to do to take advantage of FileMaker 13 styles and custom themes is to apply styles to objects. It will go faster if you can select the objects you want quickly in a batch and then do something with that batch like assign the default style or another style.

 

​Cmd-Option-A will select all fields. That's nice but it would be so much more helpful if it was a little more precise like - select all the fields with drop-down menus. I was thinking that maybe a special keyboard shortcut with an extra key held down might do this. Hope springs eternal. I've tried Cmd-Shift-Option-A but no luck there. I tried Control as the extra key too.

 

Anyone know of a way to do this?

janet, unfortunately that isn't possible (yet).

but you may want to post a feature request here

I played around with options and I can't find a way either, Janet, sorry.

Not sure I’m understanding the OP, but the Select All > Same  through the Main Menu, will select the same type  of objects that you have selected.

 

UPDATE:

 

cmd opt A will do it.
