Feature Request: Deselect All in interactive mode

It'd be great to be able to quickly deselect all upgradable deps in the interactive mode (ncu -i). In many cases I want to upgrade only a small subset of dependencies and ignore everything else.

The whole list might be quite long, so ATM I have to press arrow down + space quite many times to deselect all manually.

Thanks for the amazing project 🙏

You can press a repeatedly in interactive mode to select or deselect all.

This was conspicuously missing from the instructions that are shown in interactive mode. I updated the instructions and published to v16.3.10 so this is clearer now.

Thank you so much, I missed this shortcut. Now people like me would be able to find this answer here: https://github.com/raineorshine/npm-check-updates/search?q=Deselect+All&type=issues

IMO this shortcut is important enough to be here:

- Choose which packages to update › Space to deselect. Enter to upgrade.
+ Choose which packages to update › Space to deselect. Enter to upgrade. [A] to toggle all.

Ah, yes. Those are the short instructions. There are longer instructions available with --format group. Maybe you are right though, as it is a time saver.

I decided to unify the interactive instructions so they are the same regardless of --format.

Published in v16.3.11.
