Multi-button select for copy/paste/delete

Is this a feature relevant to companion itself, and not a module?

• [X] I believe this to be a feature for companion, not a module

Is there an existing issue for this?

Describe the feature

Ability to select multiple buttons (similar to selecting multiple cells in Excel) for copy/paste or delete actions.

Usecases

Faster building and editing of panels. Especially for things like audio mixers where you may have 3-4 buttons configured per channel, and once the first channel is setup, being able to copy them all at once would save time.

I wanted to do this for such a long time. Actually I even have some implementation ideas, but as usual there are so many other things to do and not much time. It will happen but I can't say when.

Thanks Dorian. Combined with the variables scoped to a button in this ticket, programming configs should be much faster.

Multi-button select for copy/paste/delete and:

• Apply BG/Text Color to multiple Buttons
• Apply Press/Release Action to Multiple Buttons

* Apply BG/Text Color to multiple Buttons
* Apply Press/Release Action to Multiple Buttons

Not very likely. The data structures are too heterogenous to edit multiple actions at once in a selection. It would be possible for colors at the moment but there are also plans to change button styling.
