The "Select Same" function including points as a choice
As of now, the Select menu includes "Same" and "Object". With a point not being an object, it would be under the "Same" submenu where it only has the option of selecting shapes and/or texts under certain conditions.
If in need to select multiple points, we could use the Direct Selection tool to select each of the points, but similar to shapes and texts, it would be helpful to have a one-click solution to select the points.
Some conditions to include (similar to "Select >> Same >> Fill Color") could be:
- the points having to be on a certain x-coordinate
- the points having to be on a certain y-coordinate
- the points having to be anchor points
- the points having to be mesh points
Having to be on a certain x-coordinate would mean if you have one point selected, it would select all the other unlocked points on the same x-coordinate.
Having to be on a certain y-coordinate would be the same as above but with the y-coordinate of the selected point.
Having to be anchor points would be so you can change the angle/length of every unlocked path's anchor points to the same angle/length, though the appearance of the path will depend a lot on where the points are located and the start-off angle/length of those anchor points.
Having to be mesh points would mean they are part of an unlocked mesh. This would especially be helpful with the already existing "Save Selection" and "Edit Selection" options so we would be able to go back to those mesh points and do things such as change the coordinates of all those selected.
