Your system information

Steam client version (build number or date): Jun 21 2019, at 01:43:20
Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Manjaro.i3
Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I selected a game -> right click -> "Uninstall..." and confirmed. Only I didn't notice my sticky shift made me select half of the library... Why is there no "cancel" button while accidentally uninstalling 97 games?

It was obviously my mistake but it took long time to uninstall all the games and then select them again and re-download 200 GB of installation files (Kingdom Come, Shadow of Mordor, etc).

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Install multiple games
Select multiple games
Uninstall them
Notice there's no way to stop the process
