The title says it all. While it’s possible to use keyboard shortcuts to bind variables to top/bottom or left/right, It would be fantastic if you could bind a variable to all sides via keyboard shortcuts (Deep Select / Shift) in auto-layout fields.

You already can. Click or Alt + click on the desired padding on the canvas or properties panel, enter the = symbol and select the variable in the modal window that appears.

Currently, it is not possible to bind a variable only to all paddings at once via Shift + Alt + click.
