Adding to batch process without selecting all images?

I'm coming from Rawtherapee where I'm used to do my editing on an image and then adding it to the export queue by pressing a button. I can then continue editing the next image, add it to the export queue, etc. When I'm done, I can render/export all images out all at once.

With Capture One, it seems like I have to manually select all the images that I want to export by using either the Shift or Control key. Since I often have a lot of photos, but only choose to edit a selection of these, it is a bit cumbersome to manually select/deselect the photos and then starting the export process. It would be nice if I could add the image directly to the queue when I'm done editing it, so I don't have to remember finding them afterwards.

  You can do that using a Keyboard Short cut. There should be a default set up on installation.
  
  If you have the Output batch process running the output will be performed in the background. If it's not running you can add to the batch anyway.
  
  You may eventually find that it is just as easy to tag the images that are ready for export as you complete them and then simply filter for that tag (Colour perhaps?), select all, make sure the "Process all selected variants" toggle is set to be active and send them to the process queue.
  
  There are several options available to suit different personal preferences for the output workflow.
  
  HTH.

  Are you thinking about Ctrl+D ("Process")? That automatically processes the image immediately. I'd like to just add to queue and manually process all at once when I am ready 😊

  Yes.
  
  If the Batch queue is Stopped CTRL+D will add the image to the batch awaiting batch start.
  
  Or at least it does on my system.
