Feature Request: Select Highlighted Files #535

Open themespan opened 2 years ago

themespan commented 2 years ago

I can highlight files in the results panel by clicking, ctrl-clicking, or shift-clicking. I would like to select (mark checkboxes) the highlighted rows. I've seen this implemented in other applications by pressing the spacebar. Alternatively, there can be an option "Select highlighted" on the Select action button.

Spacebar works(at least for Linux) and reverse selection of selected items

If spacebar doesn't mark checkboxes, first either tap [ ← ] (left-arrow key) ≦ 4 times or hold down it for ~ a second or so to select the correct column; (assumes default [English] column layout)


Moments ago on macOS, I discovered there's the faintest selection box around one's currently-selected cell, corresponding to a respective column. In contrast to the row-selection highlight, this subtle UI difference was difficult to discern on a 2560 x 1600 13" Retina display—

I just noticed a problem: spacebar only flips the checkmark of the last highlighted row, no more than one row at time.

It would be extraordinarily useful to be able to toggle the checkbox state of every highlighted row with the since press of [spacebar].
