Columns menu
Prop showColumnsMenu — adapter chrome, default true.
Guide
When to use it
On by default — the toolbar menu that hosts the per-column controls.
How it works
Renders the Columns button and its menu, the home for show / hide (enableHiding), pin
(enableColumnPinning), reorder (enableColumnOrdering), copy-column and edit-lock controls.
Gotchas
- Turning it off hides those controls; the underlying behaviours still work via keyboard and the settings sheet.
- It's chrome — same menu in both skins (Radix
DropdownMenufor shadcn, MUIMenufor MUI).
