Add hotkey to unselect everything

My camera is inside of a giant model in Studio.

I click anywhere to select it, then ungroup.

Now I have a million selected parts.

I have no nice way to clear the selection. I have to move the camera and click on the sky to be able to do anything unless I want to drag around all these selected blocks, which is not common to do after ungrouping.

Not a perfect workaround, but I usually solve this by clicking here on the Explorer pane:

Well, there could be one hotkey, that could potentially do the trick, and I’m familiar with it. Right now, the current unselect works by pressing the blank space in the Explorer.

I hope they add shift + ctrl + A as the hotkey to unselect everything.

A lot of paint programs use CTRL + D, for deselect. That would have some muscle memory.

With PluginActions, you can recreate this behavior by binding a key to game:GetService("Selection"):Set({}). Definitely should be default behavior, though.

Actually, let me do this real quick.

UPDATE: Done! I made a plugin for this.
