Assuming I want to select several items in the canvas for design purpose, instead of select everyone with Ctrl + mouse selection, it would be nice feature to have the ability to drag the mouse over several items, and by doing that select them all

RE: select many items in the canvas with mouse area selection
It is enormously frustrating to have to Ctrl+Click on multiple items - foundation-level basic functionality that's sorely missing.
To add, the performance of Ctrl+Click is nuts - Once I get ot 2x selected items, the next one takes 10+ seconds!

yes, this will be great

Agree!
RE: select many items in the canvas with mouse area selection
It is really important to get this. It turns a nightmare when we have dozens of elements to work on.
Pls support this idea.
RE: select many items in the canvas with mouse area selection
It's very important also for me!
RE: select many items in the canvas with mouse area selection
Agreed, this is really handy, especially with more complex reports. Also, enabling ctrl-A for select all is important.
RE: select many items in the canvas with mouse area selection
This is quite important. Not only for designing reports, but tableau also allows mouse area selection for points in a map, for example.
