Way to bulk-select issues in a list

Feature Description

For example, there could be a checkbox above the first issue. Clicking that box would select all of the issues that are visible. This would be useful when changing the labels or milestone of many issues at once.

Should be doable, but not sure where to place such a checkbox in the current UI, maybe a header row would need to be introduced and the open/close buttons as well as the filters to be moved into it.

I think a header row could work. Or, if you don't want to change the UI right now, the bulk-select could be triggered by alt-clicking a checkbox.

alt-clicking a checkbox

That would be quite unconventional and undiscoverable.

If you don't want to go through all the trouble of adding a header row right now, I think it'd be fine to add a checkbox to bulk-select visible issues next to the existing issue filtering row, as such:

In the meantime/besides this, if you really don't want to change the UI, shift-clicking a checkbox after having already selected one is incredibly standard language for "select everything in between" (e.g., to select all visible issues, click the first row and then shift-click the last row). I was honestly surprised the first time I tried this and it wasn't a feature - that's how standard this keybind is, and I'm sure you'd agree.

Either way, having a way to bulk-select issues is a huge quality of life improvement and it should be permitted in some way.
