Make a selection of objects from Global Edit
When using Global Edit to edit multiple instances of a grouped object (or any other object), it would be very useful to have an option to keep those objects selected when you leave Global Edit (in order to group them all together for instance).

谢谢！链接中的方法非常有效，又帮了我一个大忙！
我的请求和链接的请求有非常相似的地方，可以合并在一起，以便团队能综合考虑。 -
There is a dedicated feature request about an ability to select all the objects Global Edit finds:

I share a workaround there in a comment you can use to still do what you want.

当有多个尺寸的对象，要想一次选择相同尺寸的对象，并将这些对象置于底层（ctr+shift+【），该如何操作？
1.通过“选择”---“相同”，无法选择相同尺寸的对象，如①；
2.通过“全局编辑”可以选择相同尺寸的对象，但不能执行层级操作，如②。 -
There is a way to workaround this:
1. Show All
2. Start Global Edit
3. Hide Selection
4. Show All
Works also with Lock instead of Hide.
Unfortunately, requires nothing useful hidden and locked for it to work.I thought about a simpler trick, with Global Edit, Delete, Undo, but it does not work for this... but it works as intended, really, dropping a Global Edit mode on undo would be a not healthy thing!
And this means there is a way for a script to do this job. Will see how it goes.

There should be also a way to convert these pseudo-symbols into real symbols: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/35768314

Please also add caption to this command. It's quite difficult to notice at Control panel.
Also, just give us a way to add captions to any command there.
