Multiselect

Fixes: #8704

Allows a user to shift click a checkbox to set the "checked" value of all check boxes between their selection and their previous selection to the new value of their selected checkbox.

So does this new feature support my feature suggestion?

#9307

Or is something else meant here?

@LHBL2003 - This is not related to your issue no.

Hopefully this will help clarify the intent of #8704 as I understand it.

Tried it out, works great!

Found a very minor issue:

• Click one or more checkboxes
• Search for something in the Quick Search input
• Remove the search string from Quick Search again
• Shift click any checkbox

Everything from the bottom of the table and to where you clicked will be marked. The reason is that when using the Quick Search the table is replaced by HTMX. As such the state of the previous element will be wrong (doesn't exist anymore) and it will mark everything as it never finds the target element.

Maybe you can clear the state whenever a HTMX table has been rendered.

Ah! Great catch and great solution! Will implement shortly. Thanks for the feedback! :)

@CroogQT - Expect getting some time to work on this? I think it's a great usability improvement.

If you don't have the time I can give it a shot fixing the last small bug.

Honestly I'm ok with merging this as-is, even with the bug. Happy to open a separate bug report to track the remaining work.

More than fine by me.
