Wait, there is quite a difference between “select all” and “shift-select”. “Select all” can select many more items than I need, while shift-select A-B only selects all items starting from A and up to and including B. Like, if I’m trying to select 20 topics from A to B while 100+ are shown, “select all” will select 100 topics while I only need 20 topics to be selected.
Also, testing in Firefox for MacOS, Shift+Select does nothing for me.
Would you consider implementing Shift+Select? Whenever I select multiple topics, I feel like it’s lacking this functionality, and I keep forgetting it does not work this way in Discourse - because it works this way everywhere else, so the intuition is to use it whenever I want to select all items between A and B.
Just wanted to add a note that in Windows, even with checkboxes ON in the file list view, you can still select all files between A and B by clicking FileA+Shift+FileB. Same in MacOS. It’s a UI convention everywhere.
