Details

It would be great if the storage inspector allowed for selecting (and deleting) multiple items, e.g. 3 different cookies at once.
Note that there is standard UX for lists of things, which users expect any time it makes sense to select more than one thing (Shift+Click, Ctrl/Cmd+Click, etc, etc). This all exists in toolkit and in <select>, but of course devtools aren't using either. :(

Comment:
I would like to be able to use common keyboard shortcuts to be able to select/unselect one or multiple entries in the WebTools Storage panel.

Currently, it doesn't seem possible to remove "all but one", or "all but x" entries. Meaning that if you wanted to delete all but one entry, you would need to manually copy and enter the entries in afterwards, which can be a bit of a pain.

Keyboard shortcuts should be supported: CTRL+A / SHIFT+A / CTRL + LMB / SHIFT + LMB
