UI ideas :)

Hi,

I have some ideas to improve interface

Nav key shortcut on torrent view:

• arrow up -> select previous torrent
• arrow down -> select next torrent
• ctrl + arrow up > keep current selection + selection previous torrent
• ctrl + arrow down > ...
• space to start / stop selected torrents
• CTR + A -> select all torrent
• suppr > delete torrent selected torrents
  ...

Fix multiple selection

• disallow some actions when multiple torrents was selected : see torrent info / download torrent / ... and all actions that can only be performed if one torrent is selected.
• add tip on contextual menu to notice action will be performed on selected torrents

"All" actions

• a button ton stop all torrent (of current view)
• a button to start all torrent (of current view)
• a button to remove all torrent (of current view)

Other suggestions

• save / cancel button is weird on "About" settings tab
• on "Ui user" settings, we have to scroll bottom to save changes

Good idea but keyboard events are PITA technically. I would like to focus on the mouse/touch unless absolutely necessary. I can try to work on the proposals, though.

• a button to remove all torrent (of current view)

I don't think this is necessary. Users can just do multi-select. Such buttons can be too destructive.

Other suggestions

• save / cancel button is weird on "About" settings tab

It is part of the panel. It is probably better to just keep it uniformed.

• on "Ui user" settings, we have to scroll bottom to save changes

Floating buttons don't work well in many cases. However, I can try to work on that.

Agree, i suggest this idea because its hard to start / stop / remove all torrent with current UI.
This will be simplier if you add nav shortcut on torrent view.

@jesec At least implement CTR + A -> select all torrent ? (Cmd+A on macOS). If you have thousands of torrents, to select all, you need 1) click the first torrent 2) scroll all the way down to the bottom 3) shift+click the last torrent. The whole process takes at least 10 seconds. It's not user-friendly.
