Yes. Got it. Thanks.
That's not really selecting objects in the conventional sense of the term. It's "highlighting object level items in the layers panel" but not selecting objects. Makes me realize after these many years that we all use the word "select" somewhat ambiguously.
Highlighting layer panel items allows a user to act on those items within the layers panel (move, copy, delete, reverse order, and so forth). Selecting objects in the layers panel (at the far right of each item) allows the user to act on those items BOTH within the panel AND on the artboard. Some actions require selecting. Others require highlighting. But it isn't always clear which of these is meant when a user is directed to "select objects in the layers panel."
How often we befuddle ourselves and each other, not because an operation is confusing but because our language isn't as precise as it could be. Mea culpa.
