Description
Currently the "Select all {{ total_count }} {{ module_name }}" link (which "selects" all objects across all the pages) is only a boolean if I undertand correctly (acrossInput.value = 1; in actions.js).
It would be nice if after selecting all records from all pages one could still navigate the pages AND unselect some records.
Currently navigating the pages, or clicking any selection checkbox, undoes the "select all [...]".
So, say I have 402 users, so 4 pages, if I hit "Select all 402 users" I see "All 402 users selected", I now I uncheck a single one I'm back at "99 /100 selected users", I'd prefer "401/402 selected users".
