multi-select
Pick multiple options
Multi-select describes an interface element that allows choosing more than one option from a list, as opposed to single-select controls where picking one item deselects any previous choice.
Common in forms, file browsers, and dropdown menus: Hold Ctrl to multi-select files.
As a noun, it names the control itself or the action of selecting multiple items.
