Change all component annotation text size simultaneously on silk layers

**Feature Request** Brief title for your desired feature: Component annotation text properties (PCB silk layers) How would you like the feature to work? On top and bottom silk layers it would be handy to be able to change the annotation text properties (height and line width) for all components simultaneously. Why is this feature important to you? On densely populated pcb the default text size is too large to be able to fit in all annotations (R21 C15 etc). Some have to go under components which is useless for debugging. To change all annotations manually is time consuming and will be reset if a component is updated or changed. This could be added to existing silk layers properties dialog where besides selecting color you could change text attributes for these layers as well. If there are production silkscreen limits for text size these could be enforced in this dialog as well.

I think this can sort-of be done already: you can select multiple components, and the Attributes window will only show you the attributes which are common to all of them. So, if you select multiple text objects, they will have the "height" attribute in common, which you can then change for all of them. Now, this could be GREATLY improved and automated if there is a feature to select all objects of the same type!

@ivoras thanks for the tip yes you are correct and this method works for all object types not just text, I use it for vias and other objects. However it is a pain to select just text fields in a dense layout, also the attributes get set back to default if you update the pcb. There needs to be a class- or style-based approach to objects, which seems to be a fundamental design change for EasyEDA. Nets in particular would benefit from a net classes approach - hope Dillon and the guys are taking notes!

Well, I think something like a class- or style- approach to objects, if I'm thinking about the same thing as you, will be too different to users of other EDA tools. This particular problem could be solved very simply by introducing a feature like "select all objects of the same type". Of course, this could go on with other features like "select all objects with the same value", etc.

We will provide the `Find the similar object` feature in the future.
