Select several items while building a popup

[Hades]

I know you can use Ctrl to select more than one stat/text, but is very annoying when you have to select a ton of stats and click on everyone. So I was wondering if you could add a new option like Select Column, Select Row, Select All or even better, drag the mouse to select an area like in picture at the bottom.

And by the way, last days I've been doing popups with a lot of text so I have a couple of questions/suggestions. Is there any way to change default font/size/style? By default is Tahoma 8 Bold, but if I want to use another font, size or just make it normal instead of bold, I need to click on every text to select all and then change it. It would much faster if we could set our default font, style and such.

Also those popups have similar text and would be useful if I could copy&paste several text boxes. I decided to open .pt4hudgroup and see if I could edit code and duplicate the part I wanted, but I tried with several softs but text was unreadable in a big % so that didn't work. I'm still working on them so if there is any way to do this, you would save me a lot of time :P

These kinds of suggestions have been made before, unfortunately it's not as easy as you might think to make this happen.

One thing you may not be aware of though you can highlight multiple items using shift in one click in the Group Items box at the top - so you can highlight everything in a group in two clicks (click at the top, scroll down, shift click and the bottom) - that makes things a lot easier to work with.

Certainly didn't know that. Had to try right away. Works as advertised... but once you select a bunch of stats, you can't deselect a stat in the box or in the "graphical" editor :(

You can ctrl+click an item in the Group Items box above, but you're correct you can't deselect in the graphical editor. It's still very useful to know about :)

i wish i knew shift clicking worked in the Group Items box, i would of saved a lot of time when building my popups but at least i know now for future designs. I was surprised that shift clicking didn't work in the drag n drop window since ctrl is fucntional so i just didn't think to try selecting things in the group item box.

ctrl+click doesn't seem to work (to deselect) in the group items either when I have more that 2 items selected. Something wrong with my setup or is this a known feature?

i think kraada was just confirming that ctrl+click to deselect didn't work with the editor rather than making reference to the Group Items

I actually thought ctrl+click did deselect also in the Group Items area - I see now that it does not. I'll do what I can to make sure we fix this.
