# Drag Select Checkbox Group – Press and Drag to Check Multiple Rows in One Stroke

> Drag Select Checkbox Group for React and Tailwind CSS (shadcn/ui): press one checkbox and drag to check every row you pass in one stroke; back up and the passed rows are restored. It is built to make bulk selection one gesture instead of many clicks. A translucent band follows the pointer, ticks draw themselves and select-all shows a mixed state. Shift+click ranges, arrow keys, Ctrl/⌘+A, touch long-press, controlled or uncontrolled value, aria labels, reduced motion and light/dark are included. Use it for mail, files, members and tables. The included demo is a mock inbox with embedded headshots and makes no network requests. Requires React only, with no animation library.
