Bulk Edit: Select Multiple Widgets to Modify Shared Properties

Description:

Enable selection of multiple widgets simultaneously in Loopy Pro’s UI to allow editing of shared settings—such as size, label, color, action bindings, and positioning—in a single operation.

Problem:

  • Currently, each widget must be edited one at a time.

  • Repetitive adjustments (e.g., resizing, relabeling) across many widgets become tedious and time-consuming.

  • Inconsistent formatting or misalignment can occur when manually editing widgets individually, disrupting visual layouts and user experience.

Proposed Solution:

  • Implement multi-select functionality (e.g., Shift‑click, click‑drag, or lasso tool) for widgets.

  • When multiple widgets are selected, show only the common editable properties.

  • Allow batch changes to these properties and apply them simultaneously across all selected widgets.

Benefits:

  • Streamlines layout design and consistency across control panels.

  • Saves time when applying formatting or binding similar actions to multiple widgets.

  • Reduces layout errors and improves visual coherence.

Examples:

  • Select five buttons at once and change their background color or label prefix in one action.

  • Align a group of grid toggles to the same size and position.

  • Assign the same MIDI or keyboard action to several widgets simultaneously.

Original Post:

Be able to select multiple widgets and edit basic properties (for example those that appear when you click/tap the cog at the top such as font size) that are common to all selected to enable more efficient and consistent formatting.
