Allow the edit of multiple tokens at once for damage or marking.

So one of my players decided to fireball a group of 8 elementals and I started thinking to myself as I typed "-36" for the sixth time, "There has to be an easier way to do this..."  Then I though, "Why can't I edit multiple tokens at the same time." So roll20, why can't I edit multiple tokens at the same time?  Maybe highlight the tokens that failed their save and just type "-36" once! The same goes for marking multiple tokens with Icons all at once instead of one by one.  If suddenly half of my enemies become wounded by a big AOE and I want to mark them all with the half-heart icon, it would be nice if I could do that!  Maybe instead of making a big square around the tokens I want to highlight, I could just hold shift and start clicking tokens and they could have a glowing blue outline around them or something.  That would also be a lot easier to identify visually rather than the big square that appears around everything currently.
As a Pro user, you have access to API scripts, which can do this. There is a script called Apply Damage The code is on Github here . The thread for the script is here .

I have no idea how to use scripts with roll20, this feels like I whole other thing I'm going to have to figure out.  I'll look into this, but it would also be nice if there was a way to just do this with the main interface as it feels like something a lot of DMs will have to deal with.  In the meantime, thank you for the info!
Sure! Certainly not wanting to invalidate your suggestion, just offering a possible workaround in the meantime. :-)
