How to unselect everything in Scene tab? [solved]

Hi,

how do I unselect everything in the scene tab?

I would like to use Smart Content to add new characters to the scene, but since I have something selected, it will only allow me to use stuff that is for the selected item.

The tutorial said I should simply click below the items in an empty space, but there is no empty space, I have many props in the scene, even if I have the Scene tab displayed in full height, I have the scrollbar at the side, and there is not even a single pixel of empty space below or above the props in the tab.

I have a workaround: add a camera, select that, and that will make Smart Content show me everything, but there must be an easier way to do this.

I'm still on 4.8.

Thanks,

Ati

    Click with right mouse button in the scene tab and from the menu use Select - Clear Selection.

    Be aware, though, of which tool you're using; the Clear Selection option isn't in the same place in different tool context menus. That confuzzled me for a bit before I realised what was happening.

    Left clicking anywhere in the viewport with your cursor not on an object works too.
