One can also exclude some layers, that will not be used by the mutli selection tools (see Settings dialog)
Example: Multi selection with the polygon tool
- Selection color: affect icons, rubberband, and features
- Set active..: If enabled and the active layer has no selected feature, change the active layer to the first layer with at least one selected feature
- Replace default action: If True, replace the QGIS selection tool with the multilayer selection tools. Else, add the multilayer selection tools in their own toolbar
- Display settings action on toolbar
- Included Layers: list the vector layers in the current project. Unchecked layers will be ignored by the multilayer selection tools (useful for ignoring a vector basemap for instance).
- If Exclude hidden layers is checked (default), the selection tools will not select or deselect any feature belonging to hidden layers (unchecked in the QGIS layer tree view)
- If Always include active layer is checked (default), the active layer will not be ignored even if it is unchecked in the list.
