Easier way to select/deselect/changing field type in Select Tool

When several fields are marked the marking of check box should apply to all selected fields. 

When changing Type the change should also apply to all selected fields.

 

There should also be shortcut keys for doing this.

 

This is a really common task and would save a lot of time. I'm actually really surprised it does not already exist in Alteryx Designer.
