Cross select multiple components between schematic and PCB editor

[mangelozzi]

Correct my memory, but I though I used to box select components (like a whole lot capacitors and a chip) in the schematic editor, then go to the PCB editor and have the same ones automatically selected, then move them into place.

Was a very handy way of selecting related components for placement.

When I research it its seems was just an idea, was it not implemented?:

Cross-selecting multiple components between schematic and layout?

Is there any way to select multiple components in eeschema such that the same components become selected in pcbnew? Cross-selecting individual components between eeschema and pcbnew works nicely, but it would be extremely helpful to do this with multiple components at a time. I am performing initial component placement for a fairly complex design, at the stage where I’m grouping related components together. In Mentor PADS, I would drag-select portions of the schematic in order to get the same c…

I have not seen it implemented in KiCad so far. I’m still using 5.1.6.
