Bulk-edit selection

[kianzarrin]

It would be a good idea for user to be able to select multiple segments/junction[s] to perform bulk-edit. (In issue #559 I have described whats the difference between quick edit and bulk edit)

issue #557 talks about how to select road using the 'Adjust road selection tool'. However I think there should be other ways of bulk editing as well using [ALT/CTRL/SHIFT]+Click. for example in the junction restriction tool the user should be able to select a junction or multiple junctions to be able 'ban all pedestrian crossing (also see #40)'/'cars can enter blocked junctions'/... on all of the selection.

For modifier keys (shift/ctrl/etc) we ideally want some consistency so it works the same across all tools.

Tagging: #177

Also, I think there's some (possibly outdated) ponderance on modifier keys linked via #38. I also compiled a list of shortcuts on the steam workshop page (probably also outdated).

Remember that in addition to modifier keys, we can also do things like drag select or drag apply (you can click and drag to apply speed limits for example).

So I think we should first clarify a set of consistent mechanisms (modifiers, drag, selections, etc)? #84 had some thoughts in to that kind of stuff, but only specific to speeds tool.

I suggest we have a page in Wiki for GUI guidelines and filter every new feature through that.
Example: Either shift of ctrl would add to selection in selection modes
Colors:
White - available to click
Light blue - active
Black - xxxxx
Red - xxxxx
Circle highlights a node
Thick bezier sausage - highlights a segment
Half-sausage highlights a half-segment
Thin sausage highlights a lane
Thin bezier highlights a direction

Just been thinking about this - now that we have the mass edit thing merged, that gives us this new interaction point: User can select roads while toolbar is visible but no tool selected.

What if, in that context, they could Ctrl+Click additional segments or Shift+Click to select all segments between clicked and original selection?

Further to comment above:

• If only one segment selected, then the normal "road route" (primarily based on road name) gets the 'green bar'
• If multiple segments selected (Ctrl+Click segments to add to current selection) then only those segments get the 'green bar'
• If Shift pressed, auto-route follow (like other tools) gets the 'green bar'
