Moving or selecting multiple decks at once

It’s often the case that I import a new deck which contains multiple sub-decks, and I need to re-arrange the decks. This frequently involves moving multiple decks, and it would be nice if I could select multiple decks and move them with drag & drop to the new parent deck instead of having to move them one by one. Ideally, this would be something like:

  • Drag mouse over several decks, or Ctrl+click or Shift+click them to select multiple decks (with subdecks also included if appropriate)
  • Be able to drag and drop my selection to the intended destination, preserving as much of the structure as possible

This would be similar to how file explorer programs work.

The browser sidebar lets you do exactly that.
