Please make double clicking item, that results in (various), show a count?

[Rock5]

When you double click an item such as "Cloth" it selects all cloth on screen and shows the message "Cloth x6000" for instance if you have 6000. When you double click something that has variable names such as colonists or pets it show "(various)" with no count. I can understand that it shows various because they have different names but why can't it show the count?

Firstly, I understand why it shows "various", it's because they have different names. But if I double click a cow, for example, it knows to select all cows even though they don't share the same name because they are the same type i.e. cow. Why can't it use this "type" and show a message such as "Cow x2"?

I can live with it saying "various" but the main reason for this post is to request that a count is shown regardless. Why can't it show "(various) x2"? For that matter why can't a count be provided when selecting multiple different items? I understand that some items don't stack so you would effectively be counting the items whereas items that stack you would be totaling the stacks but surely it's not that difficult to merge the two.

What do you think?

Would make it easier to gauge the size of certain manhunter herds, so I'm in favor.

Is it already possible to get the count with the click and drag selection ?

Yes, this would be such a quality of life addition.

I'm on board

Another QoL for me.  There are hotkeys that switch the selection between your colonists (the comma and period key.) Would be useful to have some hotkeys for raiders as well.
