Description Mika Norén 2015-05-18 14:27:14 UTC
I got a huge list of "watched nicks" with several hundred users listed.
It has been growing over the time, and I now need an effective way to clear out this list.

Opening the "Watched Nicks Online" tab (shortcut key: F4), I can see all the nicks currently being watched. I can click on a nick, and then remove it. Fine so far.
But if I want to remove a whole bunch at once, it get quite tedious. 
Since I cannot multi-select several nicks at once, I have to click them one by one, and click "Remove Nickname", each time.

This generates A LOT OF CLICKING. (Or key presses)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add multiple nicknames to the "Watched Nicks" list.
2. Open the "Watched Nicks Online" tab. (Default shortcut key: F4) 
3. Start removing several nicks from the list.
4. Notice how tedious it gets when one have to click the nicks one by one to remove them.

Actual Results:  
Operation is taking a lot of time due to tedious clicking and/or key pressing. I'm still not done yet.
Had to buy a new mouse, as the old one got worn out.

...still clicking....


...still clicking...




Expected Results:  
I wish there was a multiple selection method available, so one can select multiple nicknames at once, and then, after selection, click the "Remove nickname(s)" button to remove all selected nicknames at once. 

Perhaps implement the standard multi select feature, where one can make rather complex selections with help of CTRL, SHIFT and inverted selections. Just a file manager and its multi select feature.

It would save a lot of computer mice from becoming worn out around the globe. 
You'd be helping the global climate, as we would worn out less computer mice.
