Statblocks are great but I think it's missing something, multi create and multi drag and drop! When making columns or rows for your statblocks, why do you need to click the create column/row button multiple times? Why can't you long press the column/row and a pop up will come up like your editing the column/row, then in the options, hit multirow/column, type in how many rows or columns you want(let's say 10) and boom 10 rows/columns appear. And that's not all! Moving rows is a hassle, especially if your on a mobile device. Let's make moving rows at least easier. Similar to the mass delete function already built in, why can't you checkmark multiple rows and move a single row to the desired spot you want and all the checkmarked rows are moved for you! It will address the time wasted making all those columns and rows, in just 2-3 clicks and maybe even one edit row/column and a number you could spontaneously become a God of statblocks, create 300 rows or columns in under 30 seconds and split the fabric of space and time! In addition, moving multiple rows with just a few presses of the checkbox of the rows you want to move and sliding them all to where you want to go will make even the blood gods jealous of your mastery of statblocks! Just think of all the other applications of this technology to other things like tables! You could make a table with the perfect amount of rows or columns on the first try, and if you mess up you can always make more! Plus it would a boon to not only computer users but mobile users as well! checkboxedFollow up
I mean tables when I said statblock
To clear up some possible confusion. When you make a table, there are two grey squares with a + sign( one for adding columns and one for adding rows) and you have to press/click these multiple times to get however many you need. So let's say you need 10 rows for a table, you have to click or press the add row/columns 10 times. My idea would have a long press or maybe a popup which allows you to type how many rows or columns you need and automatically builds these things for you. Instead of 10 clicks it's now 1 long press, a number and an enter button and boom you could create 10 rows in less time than constant clicking. This will be usefull not only to those who use world anvil on devices like phones or tablets but will also allow smoother use to those that have laptops and computers.
The second idea was for when you need to move multiple rows somewhere, and it already uses a built in feature, the mass delete! Instead of mass deleting you select which rows you want to move, long press a single row and the rest will move behind that row your moving, then when you move the row to where you want it all the selected rows reappear and are also brought to the same spot. This will be good for when you have already set up a table but forgot a few extra things you want to put in the table, you can move any new row into the spots you want them to go without having to drag and drop each row to the desired spot.
