Selecting
*********
This page discusses selection tools that are specific to the 3D Viewport.
The generic selection tools are described in the
:doc:`Interface </interface/selecting>` section.
The 3D Viewport has two keys that affect selection:
Select by Origin :kbd:`Ctrl`
Selects objects by their :doc:`origin </scene_layout/object/origin>`
rather than their geometry.
Selection Menu :kbd:`Alt`
Shows a menu in case there are multiple objects under the mouse cursor,
making it easier to select the one you want.
These keys can be combined to get a selection menu based on object origins.
The mode-specific selection pages are listed below.
