andrecampeau Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I'm not too crazy about having to drag the selection arrow around the entire items to select them. There should be a choice of methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 There is. Try Preferences > Tools > Select object when intersects with selection marquee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aammppaa Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Also you can drag with left + right mouse buttons to enable this type of selection. Best of both worlds. misc33 1 Win10 Home x64 | AMD Ryzen 7 2700X @ 3.7GHz | 48 GB RAM | 1TB SSD | nVidia GTX 1660 | Wacom Intuos Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Macs, holding down the control & option keys before starting to drag out the selection marquee temporarily reverses the behavior set in the preference. Both keys must be pressed before clicking & dragging; if just the control key is pressed, that opens the popup context menu when you click. This works the same way on all three Mac desktop apps.
