sometimes i want to clear a bunch of zooms at once, and right now i have to click each one and delete it.

dragging a box across six zooms
press on empty space in the zoom row and drag. every zoom the box touches lights up.

six zooms selected
let go and they stay selected. delete, backspace or the bar's delete button removes all of them, and one cmd+z brings them back.

details

  • a plain click on empty zoom space still adds a zoom. only a drag selects
  • esc or a click anywhere else clears the selection
  • the bar also shows up after cmd+a, which already selected every zoom but never showed it
  • selected zooms get a white outline. the old selected style was a 1 px border change you couldn't see on thin zooms
  • the click that ends a drag doesn't seek or add a zoom

how to check

  • npx vitest run src/components/video-editor/timeline
  • npx playwright test tests/ui/block-deletion.spec.ts adds three zooms, drags across two, deletes them and undoes it
  • four timeline ui specs fail on main as well (skeletons, zoom hover, zoom end snapping and the first editor test), and this pr doesn't touch them

#807 asks for marquee selection. this pr covers selecting and deleting, and editing several zooms at once would be a separate pr. it also makes the cmd+a selection from #548 visible.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Select multiple zoom regions by dragging across the timeline and delete them together.
    • Press Escape to clear zoom selections. Restore deleted zoom regions with Undo.
  • Improvements
    • Selected zoom regions are highlighted more clearly.

Pressing on empty space in the zoom row and dragging draws a selection
box. Every zoom the box overlaps is selected, a bar shows how many, and
Delete, Backspace or the bar's button removes them in one undo step. Esc
or a click elsewhere clears the selection. A press without a drag still
adds a zoom, and the click that ends a drag no longer seeks or adds one.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The timeline supports drag selection of multiple zoom regions. It displays the selected regions and a selection count, and provides bulk deletion. Escape clears the multi-selection, and keyboard deletion targets selected zooms.

Changes

Zoom Region Multi-Selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Drag selection and selected zoom rendering
src/components/video-editor/timeline/components/viewport/TimelineCanvas.tsx, src/components/video-editor/timeline/hooks/utils/timelineSelectionUtils.ts, src/components/video-editor/timeline/ItemGlass.module.css
Dragging across the zoom row selects visible zooms whose ranges overlap the drag interval. The canvas renders the selection box and selected zooms.
Selection state and deletion
src/components/video-editor/timeline/hooks/useTimelineSelection.ts, src/components/video-editor/timeline/hooks/useTimelineKeyboardShortcuts.ts, src/components/video-editor/timeline/hooks/useTimelineEditorRuntime.ts, src/components/video-editor/timeline/hooks/utils/timelineSelectionUtils.ts, src/components/video-editor/timeline/hooks/utils/timelineSelectionUtils.test.ts
The selection hook tracks selected zoom IDs and deletes selected zooms that still exist. Keyboard handling uses those IDs for deletion and clears selection on Escape. Utility tests cover range selection and delete-target resolution.
Editor controls and UI coverage
src/components/video-editor/timeline/TimelineEditor.tsx, tests/ui/block-deletion.spec.ts
The editor displays a selection count and bulk-delete control, and passes selection state to the canvas. The UI test checks multi-delete and undo.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 335e7

Drag selection and bulk deletion preserve the unselected zoom, and one undo restores the deleted group. No actionable merge-blocking regression is established; the test uses a cross-platform undo shortcut.

Review details

Systems and components

  • observed — src (ui) was modified; 8 changed files map to changed impact.
  • observed — tests (ui) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in src/components/video-editor/timeline/ItemGlass.module.css: .glassBlue.selected now sets a lighter mixed-color background and a 2px translucent white inset ring; the existing mixed-color border remains.
  • observed — Modified behavior in src/components/video-editor/timeline/TimelineEditor.tsx: Adds the UI Button import and imports Trash under the local name Trash2 alongside Plus.
  • observed — Modified behavior in src/components/video-editor/timeline/TimelineEditor.tsx: Adds runtime-provided selected zoom IDs, a setter, a zoom-ID selection handler, and the bulk-delete action to the destructured runtime result.
  • observed — Modified behavior in src/components/video-editor/timeline/TimelineEditor.tsx: Computes the number of selected zooms by counting all zoom regions when select-all is active, or otherwise counting selected IDs that still exist in zoomRegions.

the editor undoes with cmd+z on macos and ctrl+z everywhere else, so the
test now passes on linux and windows too.
