Auto-Advance in Import Module?

I understand that in the Library Module I can use Photos>Auto Advance to have LR automatically move to the next image after rating/rejecting an image.

 

However I would also like to be able to Auto Advance in the Import Module when selecting which images to import. Is this possible?

You can use the P keyboard shortcut to check the highlighted image / X to uncheck it, in the import screen.

 

Shift+P, or Shift+X, also automatically moves to the next image.

Sorry to say, auto-advance is a Library module feature only. At this point, your best bet would be to just make a rough cut on import (avoiding obvious issues) and then refine after import. 

Update: as Richard points out below, auto-advance in Import has a keyboard shortcut! Awesome!
