Multi-Select Cues in the Editor

[StasUshomirsky]

I often need to re-order groups of cues -- by that, I mean select several cues and move them together to another place in the show. Or, select several cues and copy all of them to another place in the show. Currently, the editor screen does not seem to allow me to multi-select cues and perform CUT/PASTE or COPY/PASTE on all of them. I seem to only be able to select one cue at a time. Am I missing something obvious? Is there a fast way to grab a group of cues and move or copy them all at once?

I cannot make all my cues be sub-cues, because I need them all to be individually listed in the main cue list, to allow for occasional manual overrides. Plus, automatic triggering is much easier with separate cues than with sub-cues. (Yes, I know this is going to improve in SCS 11. Eagerly waiting for that!)

Would you please add the ability to multi-select cues on the editor screen? It would save me tremendous amounts of time when editing the shows. The trouble with moving cues one at a time, is that it's very easy to make a mistake -- put some cue out of order or leave a cue behind.

Thank you!

This is certainly a good idea and I've put it on my list of enhancements for SCS 11. Unfortunately it's not an easy enhancement as currently SCS uses a 'TreeView' Windows control and that control doesn't support multi-select. The solution is to replace the control with an own-built equivalent, which obviously requires some work.
