Summary:Techniques for visual selection and grouping are described. In at least some embodiments, multiple visuals can be selected and grouped such that visuals can be manipulated as a group and various actions can be applied to visuals as a group. For example, in response to a user placing a group of visuals in a display region, the visuals can be arranged in the display region based on a specific arrangement order. According to one or more embodiments, visuals can be rearranged to reduce gaps between visuals, such as to present a consolidated view of visuals and to conserve display space. Visuals can be grouped together (e.g., based on user selection), and selectable options presented that are selectable to apply various actions to the grouped visuals.
