Select

Select is the default mode for working on the canvas, and the one you spend most of your time in. You can switch to it from the mode picker at the top of the floating command palette, or press V.

What you can do

In Select mode the pointer interacts directly with your elements:

• Click an element to select it.
• Drag a marquee across empty canvas to select many elements at once.
• Drag an element to move it.
• Drag its handles to resize.
• Double-click to edit a label.

Returning here

Select is your home base. After you finish with any other tool (Hand, Eraser, the Format Painter, and so on), come back to Select to carry on editing. Choosing a different tool changes what a click or drag does, so returning to Select restores normal selection and editing behaviour.
