[QGIS-Developer] Plugin idea for Editing multiple layers

[Thomas Baumann]

Hello Alexandre,
for editing/selecting multiple layers I have used the QAD Plugin before.
For just selecting features from multiple layers there is the MultipleLayer
Selection-plugin:
 https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/MultipleLayerSelection/

I think such a tool is indeed very useful.

Regards,
Thomas
