Select window for (nearly) all tools

I would like to see an included select window for (nearly) all tools. Sometimes almost half of my workflow are select tools because I try to minimize my data and improve naming as much as possible.

 

Example:

1) Removing unnecessary columns

2) Removing Lat/Long columns

3) Removing not needed columns from distance tool.

 

Another example would be the typical usage of cross-tab. In 90% of my cross-tab usage, I put a select tool behind it.

 

I think it would be good to have an included select window in nearly all tools. There are probably tools that don't need them, but I think it would be a good addition to many tools.

 

I would suggest to add an included select tool for (at least) these tools:

- Input Data

- Cross-tab

- Tile

- Formula

- Multi-Row Formula

- Multi-Field Formula

- Text To Columns

- Cross Tab

- Transpose

- Create Points

- Distance

- Trade Area

- ...
