Cell/range selection + keyboard nav

Prop enableCellSelection — engine behaviour, default false.

Guide

When to use it

Spreadsheet-style cell and range selection with keyboard navigation — the foundation for clipboard, the status-bar aggregates, and range-aware actions.

How it works

Click-drag or Shift+Arrow to select a range; Arrow / Tab / Home / End navigate. It's engine-level, so both skins get it with no extra chrome.

Gotchas

• Required (directly or implied) by enableClipboard, and by showStatusBar's sum / avg / min / max aggregates.
• Distinct from row selection (enableRowSelection), which is checkbox-based, not range-based.

Overview

Layer	enable* (engine, resolved in useBstTable)
Type	boolean
Default	false
Maps to	custom feature — v9 ships cellSelectionFeature, but ours stays: it is fused with keyboard nav, clipboard, type-to-edit, find, the context menu, notes (Shift+F2), the floating action bar and selection stats. Swapping the state layer would re-plumb all of them
Status	✅ done (Phase 3)
Since	v0.3.0
Settings sheet	Selection & clipboard

Cell / range selection + keyboard navigation. Click / Shift-click to select a range; Arrow / Shift+Arrow / Tab / Home / End / Ctrl+A to move the active cell; Enter / F2 to edit. Default: false (opt-in).

Enable it

<BstTableMui
  data={rows}
  columns={columns}
  enableCellSelection
/>

Swap BstTableMui for BstTableShadcn (and the CSS import) for the shadcn skin — same props.

Spec coverage

Spec codes (A1, C2, X8, …) are Bst-Table's internal requirement IDs from the capability matrix; P0–P2 mark the delivery phase. They are traceability tags, not part of the public API.

• F2 · Disable row — ✅ built. P2 — rowDisabled
