Package: gnome-software
Version: 43.5-1~deb12u1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: joe2014knowbody at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

As part of my wishlist:

   I'd like to be able to remove installed packages quicker.

Because as it is now:

If I want to uninstall a package I need to:
   - Scroll down and click uninstall.
   - Then again click uninstall. Unnecessary.
   - Then enter password to escalate privilages.

If I want to uninstall the next package on the list:
   - Again scroll down to find it (Because after the uninstallation of
     each package you start at the begining of the list). Unnecessary.
   - Again enter password. Unnecessary.

I'd love to see some sort of tick-box where I can select all packages I
wish to uninstall and enter password once. 

Thank you for reading me.
