What platform are you running Path of Building on?
Windows
Is your feature request related to a problem?
It's frustrating to have to deal with each one of these manually
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice if POB had standard multiselect functionality.
Standard OS-level functionality would be nice: click and hold Shift to select consecutive items, and hold down Control to select individual items.
Describe alternatives you've considered
n/a
Additional context
If you wanted to get fancier, you could experiment with a Gmail-style checkbox UI and have a star/favorite functionality, but I think that is more than what people would want, and I assume it would take longer to implement.

The issue does not name files or tests; begin by locating the build selection screen and its input-handling entry point in the Lua application. Verify how selection state is represented, then confirm that consecutive items can be selected with Shift and individual items with Control on Windows.
