Description

i've been facing some issue with file selection, i love how copyparty is keyboard focused, using with [vimium](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-ff/) extension creates some problem for me.
first of all the using space to toggle doesn't work when files are in grid view.
it'd be great if you could add the file selection feature like dolphin have, either you could add a plus icon to select the file when in grid mode or right click drag to select the files as area selection

something like this

btw thank you for this awesome file server!!

also the icon of grid is deprecated i guess:
