FWIW, as far I'm concerned this should also work visa versa. Select multiple items navigator to highlight those object in document (and even consider grouping) Maybe this should be limited to objects on single page, though. But this is only an idea, implementation probably more complex
Sounds reasonable. Jim, what do you think?
@Heiko, sorry for the delayed response. I'll try to look into this.
While poking around I found that using space bar sort of already works to select multiple Drawing objects in the document from the Navigator. https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sw/source/uibase/utlui/content.cxx?r=c0aa577d#3611

I can NOT select more than one shape. If I select al the shapes, just one is selected.

Any chance to always enable this? It's not really intuitive ;-)
It's working after enabling Content Navigation View. But I had no ideea I need to click there.
