Hello, I am trying to move towards the inbuilt Image Occlusion instead of the addon. I am used to the “select all” shortcut (‘A’) in the addon which selects all the rectangles in one go. Is there a similar functionality in the inbuilt Image Occlusion? If not, is there a way to add the shortcut?  
Thanks

I’ve logged this on [Add a 'select all' shortcut for image occlusion · Issue #2964 · ankitects/anki · GitHub](https://github.com/ankitects/anki/issues/2964)

Could I trouble you to briefly elaborate on how you use it in your workflow?

Hey @dae, of course! Generally I create small cards with 5-6 lines of text from an image. In those 5-6 lines I probably add 4-5 occlusions and they become one card. Right now I have to select all the rectangles manually and make it a card, through the extension I could press ‘A’ and select all the rectangles.

Does this make sense? Please let me know if I should file a FR on github for this.

Thank you!

Thank you for elaborating! As this has already been logged, there’s no need for another ticket.
