VSCode style selection of changes and execution

[hsheikhali1]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It's not really a problem but more so a painpoint. I work in a pretty big repository and lately I added some code that when ran, returns around 50+ changes to the repository. Sometimes those changes are pointless and I need to undo them - right now, lazygit lets me undo those changes however, only 1 at a time.

Describe the solution you'd like
The title is VSCode style selection of changes - basically if you've used vscode then you know you can select all the changes you'd like to stage, undo, etc. Can we have an option in lazygit? It would be nice to select all changes or specify a key combination to start a bulk select option and then to stop the bulk selection ?

Describe alternatives you've considered
exit lazygit and run git clean -fd && git reset --hard - I get annoyed sometimes and just nuke the project lol..

Additional context
Maybe this already exists? But again, this is useful when you work in a project that gets a wall of changes (too many to count)

This is possible in current latest release v0.49.0. I'm not sure what the options were when this issue was created. You can select items individually with <space> to stage them, and select directories by hitting <space> on them. Then you can hit D and choose S to discard staged changes.

If you want to bulk stash, hit S after staging items and s to stash staged changes.

The usage of staging to select items is not perfect, but it works well enough that I don't see it changing anytime soon. The way we do visual selections for other bulk operations is intentionally ranged to work on contiguous ranges, which would not be useful for this request.
