Yes you should 😉 This command has been there for years. Was it version 5? Anyone? Or am I completely off target?

Then when you change the elements' layer they will dissappear onto the hidden layer.
This way even if you simply use the layer button (instead of the "Edit Selection Set" which is the best method) you will see that you still have some elements left selected. Then just keep choosing the layer from the layer button until all selected elements have dissappeared.
Of course you can now turn the hidden layer back on and all the elements are right where you want them.
Not a mind blowing tip but it does help you to see visually what is happening.
