Edit single cell

[powellnorma]

Hi there, I think it would be nice if one could trigger the "inline edit form" by just clicking on a specific cell. And perhaps after the change is done a user provided onCellEdit(row, key, newValue) callback gets called. What do you think?

Thank you for the suggestion. I think what you are describing is similar to how DataTables does it: https://editor.datatables.net/examples/inline-editing/simple

That might make editing more convenient depending on the use case. However there are challenges to overcome for a proper implementation:

• interference with text selection (when selecting part of the cell's text with mouse).
• compromising accessibility (the ability to perform editing using only the keyboard).
