Possibly the coolest new feature of 2015 is the Lasso. This new selection mode lets you freehand a selection set of virtually any shape, quickly and (sometimes) easily. It can be used anytime you are selecting objects.
When presented with the familiar Select Objects: prompt, just hold down the left mouse button and drag the cursor - you will be drawing a Lasso! There are three modes - Window, Crossing and Fence. Hit the Spacebar (as noted at the command line) to cycle through these three choices while lassoing. Let go of the mouse button when done with a lasso and continue selecting (or removing) objects using another lasso or other selection method.
It will take some practice to get used to the flow of a lasso, so try it out a few times to get familiar with the ins and outs of this option.
