Describe the solution you'd like?

I would like Warp Drive to support multi-select for saved objects, especially AI-generated Plans, so users can clean up several items at once.

The core interaction I am looking for is familiar file-list behavior:

• Shift-click a row to select a contiguous visible range.
• Cmd-click on macOS, or Ctrl-click on Linux/Windows, to toggle individual rows in or out of the selection.
• Show a compact bulk action surface when multiple objects are selected.
• In the main Warp Drive index, allow the selected objects to be moved to Trash.
• In Trash, allow selected objects to be restored or deleted forever.

This should apply to selectable Warp Drive objects such as Plans/notebooks, workflows, folders, and environment-variable collections. It should not select section headers, banners, the workspace picker, or special collection rows.

For delete behavior, I would expect bulk actions to follow the same constraints as the existing single-object actions:

• Respect online/offline state.
• Respect shared-object permissions.
• Respect pending sync / online-only operation constraints.
• Avoid partial application if one selected object is not eligible.
• Require confirmation for bulk "Delete forever" in Trash.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Yes. Agent-created Plans can accumulate quickly while iterating on tasks. Today, deleting or cleaning them up requires opening each row's menu and deleting one item at a time. That makes ordinary cleanup slow and fiddly, especially after several planning/replanning loops.

The same problem applies to other Warp Drive objects too, but Plans are the place I hit it most often because they can be temporary artifacts rather than long-lived documents.

Additional context

Adjacent issues I found, but they do not appear to cover this exact request:

• Agent-Based Prompt, Workflow and Notebook Management #6930 mentions bulk operations in the context of agent/CLI/MCP management for Warp Drive assets.
• Select multiple things using option key #3770 asks for selecting multiple things with the Option key, but appears to be about editing multiple paths in a command rather than Warp Drive object management.

I would be happy to contribute a spec PR for this if maintainers think the behavior fits Warp Drive.

Here's what I found while triaging this issue:

This looks like a distinct Warp Drive feature request rather than a duplicate of the adjacent issues cited. The current UI appears scoped to single-item actions, so this likely needs product/design specification for multi-selection and bulk-action behavior.

Maintainer details

I concluded that warp Drive does not currently support multi-select or bulk actions for saved objects, so bulk cleanup of Plans/notebooks/workflows/folders/environment collections is a new cross-platform feature request..

Triage summary

This is a valid Warp Drive enhancement request for familiar file-list multi-selection and bulk cleanup actions across selectable saved objects, with Plans/notebooks called out as the highest-impact case. The current Drive UI appears to be scoped to single-row interactions and single-object context-menu actions, so this likely needs product/design specification rather than a narrow bug fix.

Suggested labels

• enhancement
• area:warp-drive
• needs-mocks
• repro:high
• triaged

Reproducibility

High. The report describes an absent capability, and code inspection shows the Drive index tracks a single active selected item plus a focused row for keyboard navigation, while row clicks and context menus target one WarpDriveItemId at a time.

Likely implementation area

The likely work is in the Warp Drive index/row layer: add multi-selection state, handle Shift/Cmd/Ctrl click semantics over the visible ordered rows, suppress non-selectable rows, render a bulk action surface, and route bulk actions through eligibility checks that mirror existing per-object behavior. The existing single-object trash/restore/delete paths already gate on online state, pending online-only operations, and sharing access levels, but a bulk flow would need a preflight step that refuses the whole operation when any selected item is ineligible.

Duplicate check

I did not find enough matching open issues to mark this as a duplicate. #6930 is adjacent around agent/CLI/MCP management for Warp Drive assets, and #3770 is adjacent around multi-select interaction, but neither covers bulk selecting/deleting Warp Drive rows; no second strong duplicate candidate was found.

This is my automated analysis and may be incorrect. A maintainer will verify the details.

I have a local product + tech spec draft ready for this and would be happy to open a spec PR if this fits Warp Drive's direction.

@oss-maintainers could you mark this ready-to-spec if the problem statement is accepted and a spec PR would be welcome?
