Exporting symbol from Style Manager : add a checkbox near each symbol to easier multiple selection

When trying to export symbols from the Style Manager, you have a dialog with all available symbols. You then need to select the symbols, holding Ctrl or shift key.
It may be nice to have a dialog with a checkbox associated to each feature to allow multi selection without a need to hold a key. See how is the dialog when you want to group symbols in a group.
It may however be interesting to extend the properties of this widget to allow Ctrl, Shift or click'n-drag to still select many symbols at once (see #22056)

Not sure I get your point with the checkboxes and ctrl - shift hold behavior. Can you check in QGIS master if you're happy with it?
I believe that checkboxes are not really good for friendly UX, and the selection process works fine for me
