Select all to target the properties panel (e.g. when selecting the contents of multiple shape layer)

Currently the Select All commmand (Ctrl+A on Win) appears to always be sent to the timeline.

 

I'd like to request that if the Layer Contents section of the Properties panel has focus, then the Select All command would target that section specifically, allowing us to quickly select all the shape layer contents for the selected layers.

 

This would be a QoL upgrade when working with multiple shapes, or layers containing multiple shapes, speeding up workflow. The existing workflow is to select a shape or group, drag the scrollbar, then shift+click to select the last layer - not difficult, but every bit of workflow optimisation is appreciated!

 

An example use case is wanting update the stroke cap for a whole bunch of layers at once for consistency.

 

As a related request, adding marquee selection to the Layer Contents for making multiple selections would also be appreciated, as I think that there is currently no drag interaction in that panel.

 

Cheers!

Mike has described the exact scenario I currently find myself in. This QoL feature would be awesome to have!
