How to "select similar" on the layout?

Hi, I have a PCB that I want to select all components with the same footprint.
Kicad has a search like “Select Similar” from Altium?
Where you can select the parameters you want to find?
On this case I need to select all the testpoints on a PCB panel to do the FCT board.
So instead of manually go 1 by 1 I would like to select all at the same time to copy to the FCT Test Board.

Thank you.

Differences between different PCB design programs are often big enough that there is no direct equivalent for a function, but the same goals can be reached in another way.

FCT

I had to look that up:

You can open PCB Editor / View / Show Search Panel [Ctrl + G] and then use the mouse to select stuff (combined with [Ctrl] and [Shift]** You can also type in a search text to narrow down the list and sort in different orders by clicking on the column header.
