Feature description
Only one video can be selected at a time on the existing page
When users want to share, add to playlist, delete and other operations at the same time, they need to repeat a lot of steps.
If a "multi-select" function can be added to the long press menu, multiple videos can be selected at one time and the operations required by the user can be completed.
Just like file management. Multiple selection of files or folders
Why do you want this feature?
Simplify user operation steps and make Newpipe easier to use.
Additional information
No response
Selecting, then applying available menu actions to, multiple media at once would greatly improve bulk operations in playlists, too.
Search results, channels, public playlists etc. would also profit a lot.
Example
Consider the process of adding 10 selected media from search results to a dedicated playlist. Doing so currently involves 10 times the effort - amongst other things - to scroll through your (possibly lengthy) list of playlists and find the particular playlist there.Therefore, multi-selection might be most sensibly implemented in a more general manner, so it's not limited to history but available everywhere in one go.
Agreed with @GfEW. Multiple selection in playlists is definitely something that I need on a daily basis, and I've been manually working around it for years. It'd be really nice to not have to do that anymore.
