The problem is that if you are trying to select a lot of blocks, it can take a while to select all of them.

What is your proposed solution?

I would like to select multiple adjacent blocks by using holding down CMD and clicking, which I tried but did not seem to work with Gutenberg v12.0.2

This multiple selecting by CMD+click style does work when used to select blocks in the editor itself, just not in the List View:
