Environment

  • Python version: Python version: 3.6.8
  • NetBox version: NetBox version: 2.6.2

Proposed Functionality

Support shift-clicking to select/unselect multiple rows.

Use Case

Currently, if one needs to select multiple rows in the various views (e.g. interface table), one needs to click on each checkbox individually. Oftentimes one has to select a "contiguous" range of elements though, so it would be nice to be able to click one row (start), then shift-click another (end) to have that range checked. Just how one is already used to in the various OS file browsers, Excel, etc etc.

Database Changes

None

External Dependencies

None

It appears to be relatively easy to implement, but there are also many out-of-the-box implementations, e.g. https://www.jqueryscript.net/table/jQuery-Plugin-To-Enable-Multi-Rows-Selection-On-Table-Row-Selector.html

We won't be making any significant UI changes until development time frees up to facilitate the transition to an API-driven UI using React, Angular, or a similar framework (likely in NetBox v3.0).
