I have two vector files in the layers panel in QGIS (V2.8.2, Wien).
I am trying to select points from both vector files simultaneously to view in both attribute tables - both tables are set to show selected features only.
The only way I can do this is to select one layer in the Layers Panel, then select features by rectangle, then select the second layer in the Layers Panel and reselect again using the rectangle.
Is there a way to select features from both layers and only using select by rectangle once?
