This unfortunately does not work across time buckets, but thought it would be good to have this rather than nothing at all.

I think if we implement the feature, it will have to work across the time bucket, otherwise people will get confused

Looks good, I've tested and it works very well! Thank you. I only have one question addressed above about the implementation, other than that, feel free to merge if you feel like this is good to go

[alextran1502]

Can you help explaning this method?

[uhthomas]

So, I wanted the selection to start from the most recently selected asset. There is no "proper" way to get the most recently added item from a set, and so we have to essentially convert it to an array and get the last element. This function is equivalent to:

const s = new Set();
[...s].pop();

Though, this implementation is much quicker and uses much less memory.

Hello! Is this planned for "Explore" modes too?

I believe basically everything will use the timeline view at so point and consequently inherit this.

It's not working in Archive for me. I'm on v1.70.0.
