Multi-select on mobile/touch devices? #963

Problem to solve

I've tried to figure out a way to select multiple items using a device with a touch screen, but to my best understanding, Iris doesn't support this feature. I tried to seek for help from Mopidy Discourse, but the limited responses I received would strengthen my suspicions.

I tend to reach for this feature whenever I'm queuing albums to try out, to say, only have the "A-side" of a record queued up. The other use case is removing, moving or otherwise managing items in the play queue, which I now have to do one item at a time on mobile.

Searching the issue tracker, I see that at least once upon a time there was some sort of a "checkbox mode" that might have had this feature, but maybe this was taken away in favor of something else in the UX? Anyways, I would be curious of any insight regarding multi-touch on mobile!

Proposed solution

Allow for selecting multiple items even when using a device with a touch screen.
