Sorry if this wasn't clear. I mean a "select all text objects" option. Another great tool would be to be able to to select all items with the same stoke weight.

Hi I'm new to Affinity Designer and using it to make scientific figures for publication. So far I really like the application and find it to be a feature-rich and powerful tool. However, I would really like to be able to select text objects similarly to Illustrator, which would help in figure generation.

I'd like to second this request. I've started using Affinity Designer to prepare scientific figures for publication and often have multiple elements that I need to turn on or off - text, figures, data, etc. independently and use layers for this. However, I also need to be able to move all these elements around to different parts of a figure and in Illustrator I was able to group and ungroup and retain the layer information. In Affinity, I must re-direct everything back into layers. I would really like to have the option to keep the layer associations persistent regardless of grouping.
