Nodes Selection

Introduction

This plugin enables users to select one or multiple nodes on the canvas through clicks (touch), shift-clicks, or drag-selection (marquee). It provides the foundation for interactions like moving, grouping, editing, or deleting elements.

It handles selection state, visual highlighting, and integrates with other plugins (like keyboard shortcuts or transformation tools) to enable rich, interactive workflows. It’s essential for building intuitive, user-friendly collaborative interfaces.
