Quickly adding multiple Columns to Column order (accidental discovery)

[wilneedheart]

I find when I add a lot of columns for a View, making multiple mouse clicks is annoying; but, just one Column needs to be added with the mouse, and then by immediately pressing the spacebar multiple times more will be added.

Neat trick! Makes sense because space bar actually somulates a mouse click in an html page.  

So clicking add a column make the button active, and pressing space actually clicks it.

What I'm trying to find is how to activate the expression builder popup without clicking the box.

Neat trick I wish I knew this an year ago...I think I've collectively wasted at least 1 day of my life just by clicking add column 1 by 1

Hey there! Just to add another way of doing this:

If you set up your screen view to only see the "Add" button and not what´s above (it´s quite tricky nonetheless), you´ll then be able to do add multiple columns as well, as long as you keep clicking and don´t stop for more than 1-2 secs. 

I consider adding columns one of the most time-consuming features that definitely needs to be redefined. Just being able to have a "Bulk select panel" where we can choose which ones to display directly would be a gazillion times more efficient, I believe.
