I want to select all paths on an SVG layer. If I enter this parameter path in the search, groups and other unnecessary positions are displayed. How to display only the parameter that I need? This is necessary in order to select all paths and move them to another group or to another layer. I just don't want to select each one manually, because there are a lot of them in SVG, so I would like to find a solution and quickly select them all to move them to one group or to another layer. I know there are scripts for this, but I don't like to use third-party scripts because they accumulate, and there will be a lot of them on the screen, and it will be distracting. I think there should be a solution with standard AE functions. Thanks!

Done. I started pressing everything I could and found it myself. It's cmd+option+A. It does exactly what I need.

Interesting. Seems the exact name of this command is called “Select All Visible Keyframes and Exposed Properties.” Emphasis on visible—it only selects what is “physically” visible on-screen. It won’t selected paths (properties) that you need to scroll to see.

Maximizing the timeline panel and searching for “path” helps to fit more of them onscreen.

Another way you can do it, after maximizing and searching for path, and then, starting from an empty timeline area (basically anywhere except the layer/source name column), drag across all of them. Take a look at my attached screen recording.
