Description
On iOS, I can long-press a note to enter multi-select mode, allowing me to delete multiple notes at once.
However, this feature is not available on the desktop version. As a result, when I want to delete several notes, the workload is more than three times what it is on my phone. I have to open each note individually, click "More," then "Move to Trash," and only then can I delete a single note. When I need to delete multiple notes, I have to repeat this process over and over.

Research direction
The issue does not name files or tests. Start by locating the desktop note list and its existing single-note deletion flow, then compare the requested behavior with the iOS multi-select flow described here. Done means users can select multiple notes, select all notes, and delete the selected notes without opening them individually.
