I am using BIRT 2.3.1 and I have a report with a grid. In a number of the
grid rows, a table has been defined in each grid row.

Using the BIRT Report Designer, I wanted to change the Page Break Interval
property in each table in the grid to have a value of zero, and I tried to
select all of the tables at the same time by holding down the CTRL key and
clicking on each table. This did not allow me to select all of the tables,
though. Is there some mechanism to select more than one table in order to
change the value of a property in all of the tables at the same time?

I finally selected each table one by one in order to modify the Page Break
Interval property, but this was a little more time consuming.

In general, is there any single reference that concisely documents
"shortcuts" in the BIRT Report Designer?

John,

Any chance you could log an enhancement request for the multi-select
feature? It would be a nice feature to allow multiple selects of the
same type of report item. There will be an issue with doing this and
displaying things like the binding tab (as each table has a unique
binding) but general properties for all like report items could be shown.
