Please add a tool or feature that allows a user to use a selection area to select all layers whose bounding boxes are inside the selection, or partially within the selection. This would be really helpful when moving multiple layers that have similar sized bounding boxes. I would imagine this being implemented by Select → Layers Touching Selection and Select → Layers Within Selection.
