Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The action "Syncronize Selection" introduced in 5.0 could benefit from an overhaul:
1.) The name suggests all modules would be synchronized between images, which is not at all what it does. "Paste last changed module" would be a more accurate description in my opinion
2.) It doesn't with the "No click-workflow" of the filmstrip. One has to actually select one or more images by clicking which is inconsistend with the behaviour of the functionally related copy/paste functions.
Describe the solution you'd like
Rename to a more descriptive name, enable "no click workflow."

Research direction
Start by locating the "Syncronize Selection" action and the related copy/paste functions in darktable. Rename the action to describe its behavior accurately and make it follow the filmstrip's no-click workflow; verify that the updated behavior works without manually selecting images.
