Second is to have different colors when selecting bases when on big switch jobs it can be hard to keep track of your marked bases and you can end up mixing the marked bases up ,even. maybe try to add like a highlighter pallate to choose the highlighting color so you can organise your work more

Yes, it has been requested many times in the past, and not acted on mostly because the flash app was so difficult to modify.
It seems like a high return on investment to me.
