Answer 1

$('.select2').select2({
  placeholder: 'Press CTRL+A for selecr or unselect all options'
});

$('.select2[multiple]').siblings('.select2-container').append('<span class="select-all"></span>');

$(document).on('click', '.select-all', function (e) {
  selectAllSelect2($(this).siblings('.selection').find('.select2-search__field'));
});

$(document).on("keyup", ".select2-search__field", function (e) {
  var eventObj = window.event ? event : e;
  if (eventObj.keyCode === 65 && eventObj.ctrlKey)
     selectAllSelect2($(this));
});
        
        
function selectAllSelect2(that) {

  var selectAll = true;
  var existUnselected = false;
  var id = that.parents("span[class*='select2-container']").siblings('select[multiple]').attr('id');
  var item = $("#" + id);

  item.find("option").each(function (k, v) {
      if (!$(v).prop('selected')) {
          existUnselected = true;
          return false;
      }
  });

  selectAll = existUnselected ? selectAll : !selectAll;

  item.find("option").prop('selected', selectAll).trigger('change');
}

just look this jsFiddle i created , sure this is the answer all you searched

Select2 Multiple dropdown with select all property

$(".checkbox").click(function(){
    if($(".checkbox").is(':checked') ){
        $(this).parent().find('option').prop("selected","selected");
        $(this).parent().find('option').trigger("change");
        $(this).parent().find('option').click();
        
    }else{
       $(this).parent().find('option').removeAttr("selected","selected");
       $(this).parent().find('option').trigger("change");
     }
});

$("#button").click(function(){
       alert($("select").val());
});

$(document).ready(function() {
    		  $('.select2').select2({
    			    closeOnSelect: false,
    			    allowClear:false
    		  });

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#checkbox").click(function(){
      if($("#checkbox").is(':checked') ){ //select all
        $("#e1").find('option').prop("selected",true);
        $("#e1").trigger('change');
      } else { //deselect all
        $("#e1").find('option').prop("selected",false);
        $("#e1").trigger('change');
      }
  });
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select multiple id="e1" style="width:300px">
        <option value="AL">Alabama</option>     //AJAX created
        <option value="Am">Amalapuram</option>  //AJAX created
        <option value="An">Anakapalli</option>  //AJAX created
        <option value="Ak">Akkayapalem</option> //AJAX created
        <option value="WY">Wyoming</option>     //AJAX created
    </select>
    <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox" >Select All

If options are created after AJAX request then these options don't work. So we map them with find and select/unselect them , after that trigger change.

HTML

 <select multiple id="e1" style="width:300px">
        <option value="AL">Alabama</option>     //AJAX created
        <option value="Am">Amalapuram</option>  //AJAX created
        <option value="An">Anakapalli</option>  //AJAX created
        <option value="Ak">Akkayapalem</option> //AJAX created
        <option value="WY">Wyoming</option>     //AJAX created
    </select>
    <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox" >Select All

JS

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#checkbox").click(function(){
      if($("#checkbox").is(':checked') ){ //select all
        $("#e1").find('option').prop("selected",true);
        $("#e1").trigger('change');
      } else { //deselect all
        $("#e1").find('option').prop("selected",false);
        $("#e1").trigger('change');
      }
  });
});

just use find.

Update 2019

To programmatically select an option/item for a Select2 control, use the jQuery .val() method.

You can also pass an array to val make multiple selections:

$('#mySelect2').val(['1', '2']);
$('#mySelect2').trigger('change');

Answer 5

@Garath: I have tweaked your posted code in order to make it work with results that are loaded via ajax. Thank you for bringing this up here.

    $(document).on("keypress",".select2-input",function(event){
    if (event.ctrlKey || event.metaKey) {
        var id =$(this).parents("div[class*='select2-container']").attr("id").replace("s2id_","");
        var element =$("#"+id);
        if (event.which == 97){
            var selected = [];
            $('.select2-drop-active').find("ul.select2-results li").each(function(i,e){
                selected.push($(e).data("select2-data"));
            });
            element.select2("data", selected);
        } else if (event.which == 100){
            element.select2("data", []);
        }
    }
});

$.fn.select2.amd.require([
    'select2/utils',
    'select2/dropdown',
    'select2/dropdown/attachBody'
], function (Utils, Dropdown, AttachBody) {
    function SelectAll() { }

    SelectAll.prototype.render = function (decorated) {
        var $rendered = decorated.call(this);
        var self = this;

        var $selectAll = $(
            '<button type="button" style="width: 100%; height: 3rem; text-align: left; color: blue; background: none; border: none; box-shadow: none">Select All</button>'
        );

        $rendered.find('.select2-dropdown').prepend($selectAll);

        $selectAll.on('click', function (e) {
            var $results = $rendered.find('.select2-results__option[aria-selected=false]');

            // Get all results that aren't selected
            $results.each(function () {
                var $result = $(this);

                // Get the data object for it
                var data = $result.data('data');

                // Trigger the select event
                self.trigger('select', {
                    data: data
                });
            });

            self.trigger('close');
        });

        return $rendered;
    };

    $("#select-id").select2({
        placeholder: "Select weekdays...",
        allowClear: true,
        dropdownAdapter: Utils.Decorate(
            Utils.Decorate(
                Dropdown,
                AttachBody
            ),
            SelectAll
        )
    });
});
