I like the suggestion! Shared.

P.S. Do you have any suggestions for the combination we should use?

Holding Shift + CMD alters this for selecting groups of layers. 👍🏻
Ah, good stuff, thanks for the clarification — I think this makes sense and is already kind of how it works in the Shape/vector tools, for example. So I think

But I'm not 100% sure what you mean by the Shift-Command shortcut and I wasn't able to get it to work in PS. Could you maybe expand on how that shortcut should modify the Arrange tool's behavior?

Cool cool cool, that functionality is totally clear – thanks for taking the time to record the video, though! :smiley: I believe Pixelmator Classic once had this feature but there were issues with its reliability so we dropped it in favor of a more consistent experience. But with Pixelmator Pro, we can definitely see if we can bring it back.
