Annoying repeated popup for instructions to use the selection/unselection feature (shift+checkboxes)

I repeatedly get the dialogue box of instructions. This requires me to stop the rhythm I was in and delays my data-entry by being cumbersome to ignore the message, as I can't continue to work while ignoring the message.

I am actively holding down control while clicking on the boxes, because I am clicking in one box, then pressing v (paste) repeatedly, because I don't like to lift my finger from control, because I also occationally press shift+tab (still holding control down this entire time) to also copy from another page and then press tab (still holding control) to switch back.

To replicate this annoying feature, you hold control and click within the text input boxes, continue to hold control and switch from one box to the next, some times it takes 5-10 switching every few moments.

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

If you stay away from a dialogue box (javascript alert:) and switch to a message box that floats to the left with a hint, it would be less intrusive to data-entry or annoying to work through, because you have the option to just ignore it or go through the motions to close it.

You could even go all out and make it actually float on the left, so when you scroll it follows within certain bounds.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

• Another option is to make it so this box doesn't show up when you are merely holding the control key and clicking in the boxes, because the alternative shift+insert isn't a valid option either, because of the function of shift clicking in the boxes actually does more annoying things.
• You can only get this dialogue box once per browser session.
• You can only get this dialogue box once per instance. Instance as in each attempted new epub.
• You can only get this dialogue box once every 10 minutes
• There should be a checkbox that says ignore this suggestion from reappearing again.
• Setting option to turn off suggestions or hints (and the option to re-enable them).

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

If you add instructions to the left like this, you could hypothetically do similar things with other features in the future too, but I hope you don't make it look too cluttered, unless there is an option in the settings to eventually ignore hints, or maybe a button at the top that says {reveal hints/instructions} just my thoughts, but at a minimum, this one feature isn't a bad idea.

This is a feature you added: Make it easier to select/unselect a range of chapters: #158

I don't know if I should open a second issue yet, but an additional issue is that when you click on one text input box and then shift+click another text box, it will act as if you selected the checkboxes (minus one). If this is the function you want, it should match the same function as the check boxes and not "minus one", but also select/deselect the checkbox adjacent to where you clicked.
