Description
It would be nice if saving a selection of files was possible, via something like visually selecting them and then :downloading.
As an ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING workaround I made an xdotool script that typed :download, pressed enter, slept for 1.5s, pressed j and cycled that for the amount of files I had to download

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing :download command and the selection behavior in the client. Determine how a selection of files can be represented and handled together; done means users can select multiple files and download them with one action instead of repeating :download for each file.
