3:38 How is he selecting all the swatches?

I have tried CTRL+A and as many other random combination with no success. If you click the folders it select all the swatches in that folder but the top default swatches I would have to select one by one.

Edit: I found in the drop down menu "Select all unused" though this still is not exactly what I am looking for.

Hey Andrew,

If you hold down Ctrl (or Cmd on a mac) you can select individual swatches, and if you wanted to select all of them, click the swatch at the bottom, then hold down Shift and click the swatch at the top and it'll select everything in between :D
