Copy column

Prop enableCopyColumn — engine behaviour, default true.

Guide

When to use it

Keep (or remove) the "copy the whole column" affordance — Ctrl/Cmd+Space and the columns-menu copy button.

How it works

A sub-toggle of clipboard (on by default). It gates selectColumn / copyColumn at the runtime choke point — the keyboard gesture and the menu button — copying the column across all pages.

Gotchas

• Only relevant when enableClipboard is on.
• Set it false to allow range/row copy but forbid whole-column copy (e.g. for very wide columns).

Example source

import React from 'react'
import { BstTableMui } from '@bloomskill/table-mui'
import type { BstTableColumn } from '@bloomskill/table-engine'
import '@bloomskill/table-engine/styles.css'

type Row = { id: string; name: string; team: string; role: string; score: number }
const seed: Row[] = [
  { id: '1', name: 'Ada Lovelace',   team: 'Platform', role: 'Engineer', score: 92 },
  { id: '2', name: 'Alan Turing',    team: 'Research', role: 'Scientist', score: 88 },
  { id: '3', name: 'Grace Hopper',   team: 'Platform', role: 'Engineer', score: 95 },
  { id: '4', name: 'Katherine J.',   team: 'Research', role: 'Analyst',  score: 90 },
  { id: '5', name: 'Edsger Dijkstra',team: 'Platform', role: 'Architect',score: 84 },
]
const columns: BstTableColumn<Row>[] = [
  { id: 'name',  accessorKey: 'name',  header: 'Name' },
  { id: 'team',  accessorKey: 'team',  header: 'Team' },
  { id: 'role',  accessorKey: 'role',  header: 'Role' },
  { id: 'score', accessorKey: 'score', header: 'Score', sortFn: 'basic' },
]

export default function App() {
  return (
    <BstTableMui data={seed} columns={columns} getRowId={(r) => r.id}
      enableCellSelection enableClipboard showStatusBar />
  )

Overview

Layer	enable* (engine, resolved in useBstTable)
Type	boolean
Default	true
Maps to	custom — sub-toggle of clipboard; gates selectColumn/copyColumn (the Ctrl/⌘+Space gesture and the Columns-menu copy button) at the runtime choke point. In settings ("Selection & clipboard", always shown)
Status	✅ done
Since	v0.27.0
Settings sheet	Selection & clipboard

Copy a whole column across all pages — the Ctrl/Cmd+Space gesture and the Columns-menu "Copy column" button. A sub-toggle of clipboard; set false to disable column-copy while keeping the rest of the clipboard. Default: true.

Enable it

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

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

Behavior & interactions

• Requires enableClipboard to be on — this flag is a no-op otherwise.
• Defaults to ON — set false to disable Ctrl/⌘+Space column copy while keeping the rest of the clipboard.

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.

• H3 · Copy column — ✅ built. fixed — runtime.copyColumn / Ctrl+Space selects the whole column and copies all pages (pre-pagination, filter+sort order); copyRow/Shift+Space too. Server-tier export rides the Phase-4 foundation
