Attached is a patch that adds the ability for power users to shift + click a checkbox to mass check all checkboxes above that checkbox.

A checkbox needs to be selected above the checkbox that is shift + clicked and all the checkboxes in the middle will be selected.

I also moved the code in ready() into its own function inside a Drupal.betterselect namespace. The namespace also has a check() function for handling setting the highlight class and if the check is checked. damn i said check wayyyy too much there...

This is AWESOME!!! :D

One *minor* nit: is it possible to click anywhere in the option row, rather than directly right on the text? It's totally fine if the answer is "no." :)

Also, bumping this to critical because it's AWESOME and it should totally make it in before the official release.

Hi everyone. I'm a new maintainer for this module. ;)

This feature looks great, if you still want it, please re-roll the patch against the Drupal 6 branch!

Thanks!
