Feature description

Here is a visual example:

To avoid conflict with long press options can use a selection mode button on the top right corner with select all check box somewhere. Once selected the long press on any selected video will facilitate batch operations.

Why do you want this feature?

It's too time consuming to do it otherwise I.e manually long pressing and selecting an option for each video. Also helpful for creating lengthy playlists

Additional information

Will fix a lot of issues like batch downloading, adding marked as watched option for playlist or other similar open issues...

Sounds like a duplicate of #5482, but this focuses on a specific solution for batch selection.

#5482 is just about downloads what I'm asking for is a whole series of features like mark as watched, enqueue, enqueue next, start playing in background, start playing in popup, download, add to playlist, and open in browser (basically whatever is possible/applicable) feature via a checklist style selection menu for convenience as it is too time consuming for user to long press each video and then select the required aforesaid option to be executed. This feature should be implemented wherever possible(playlists, feeds, search results, channel videos) Even for subscription and playlist checklist style selection could be implemented for batch delete/unsubscribe.

It will fulfill the needs of a wide variety of feature requests and serving the need of a wide user base. Also it's too common to have a checklist style selection in all the modern android apps of recent times even the shittiest file managers have it to be honest. Looking forward to the devs for this change to be implemented

Duplicate of #8584, actually. I didn't use the correct keywords the last time.
