💡Feature Idea: Keep selection when spacebar+dragging canvas

When I select many things, and then press the spacebar to move the canvas, the selection gets unselected.

I want to select many things, use the spacebar to move the canvas, and then keep the selection so I can continue to move the selection after moving the canvas.

For reference, this is how Figma works.

    Hello guys, thanks for the app! Awesome!!

    My suggestion is to allow users to set which shortcut should be available. For exemple, I use Adobe's Softwares, and to navigate on the artboards there I press and hold spacebar + click + drag, it is already automatically in my mind. However, on Mural, when I do the same action it deselect the objects I had selected. It is also true that I can navigate with this action, but not without deselect the objects.

    Thanks

    Hej, I think there was a similar request in general that selections should remain when moving around. I support that request!
