Describe the feature you'd like

I would like the ability to bulk remove items from a list. The bulk edit tool only allows adding a list.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

I have a list that I'd like to split into 2-3 lists. Without a way of removing items from a list, I need to make two lists from scratch and move everything into one or the other. It is difficult to keep track of which items I've already moved.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

To accomplish splitting a list, I:

  • Moved all items into the inbox
  • Created two new lists
  • Bulk selected the items for one list, added them to the new list, then archived
  • Bulk selected the items for the other list, added them to the new list, then archived
  • Deleted original list

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

Additional context

I’ve just started using Karakeep and ran into this same problem after importing my existing bookmarks. I wanted to reorganize them into more meaningful lists, but doing it item by item is very time‑consuming. It would be extremely helpful to have a way to move items between lists in bulk, ideally with drag‑and‑drop between lists or a bulk action that can reassign selected items from one list to another.

This is a reasonable ask. I'll try to include it in the next release
