The entity selection module allows for selecting vectorized entities, including options to select, select all, deselect all, select entities, window selection, select intersecting entities, select by layer, and invert selection.

Single-click to select an entity: Left-click to select an entity and clear the previous selection. Hold down the left Shift key to add to the selection.
Rectangle window selection: Left-click to select the top-left and bottom-right corners of a rectangle window. Entities fully contained within this rectangle will be selected. Hold down the left Ctrl key to deselect entities within the rectangle. The previous selection will be cleared by default; hold down the left Shift key to add to the selection.

Hold down the left Ctrl key to deselect entities within the rectangle. The previous selection will be cleared by default; hold down the left Shift key to add to the selection.
Modify entity vertices: Click on a selected entity’s vertex and drag to move and modify its position. In the main vector editing window and associated window, only the X and Y coordinates of the vertex will be modified; in the profile window, only the Z coordinate will be modified.
Modify entities: Press the M key, left-click to select a reference point, and drag to move and modify the position of all selected entities. In the main vector editing window and associated window, only the X and Y coordinates of the entity will be modified; in the profile window, only the Z coordinate will be modified.
