[Inkscape-user] multiselect in xml editor?

Hi there,

I'm using Inkscape to design web pages and it's great for this job, but seeing as I have mapped the html <div>s to many nested svg groups it soon becomes difficult to select the objects I need with the mouse.

It's very easy with the XML editor, but I don't seem to be able to do multiselect using this tool! Is it possible, or on the list of improvements? I'm on Inkscape 0.45

Thanks in advance,

Roger
